# about
|
|
|
|
`eureka` is a simple static site generator based on the generator for [100r.co](https://100r.co).
|
|
|
|
`eureka` simply reads `.htm` files in `./inc/` and applies a template around them, giving them a `<header>`, `<nav>`, and `<footer>`. The `<nav>` content is also located in `inc/meta.nav.htm`, and, contrary to `100r.co`'s engine, special rules are applied when templating around it to render the landing page (`index.html`).
|
|
|
|
In addition, there is a thumbnailer that uses [ImageMagick](https://www.imagemagick.org) to create low-bandwidth thumbnails at 500px wide and 16 colors, and store them in a subdirectory alongside the full size images. `eureka` has a function to automatically replace the inline images within pages with the thumbnails, but leave the links they point to untouched.
|
|
|
|
Eureka also parses a [twtxt](https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) file at `SITEROOT/twtxt.txt` and displays the latest three entrires on the front page. It expects the file to be in descending order.
|
|
|
|
# usage
|
|
|
|
1. Run `./build.sh` to copy the default config header to `config.h` and create the `inc` directory (and `meta.nav.htm`) if it doesn't exist.
|
|
2. Edit your config; see below for details.
|
|
3. Create your CSS and other assets if necessary and put them in your `SITEROOT`.
|
|
4. Edit your `inc/meta.nav.htm` to create your `nav` structure (see the markup section below).
|
|
5. Create a new page, eg `inc/my_first_page.htm` (see the markup section below).
|
|
6. Edit your `inc/meta.nav.htm` again to reference your new page.
|
|
7. Run `./build.sh` again! You will be warned of any orphaned files.
|
|
|
|
## build options
|
|
|
|
Currently these build options are supported, and they must be supplied __in this order__ if used together:
|
|
- `-r`: Regenerate all thumbnails
|
|
- `-d`: Delete the latest twtxt entry; if used together with `-t`, the new entry replaces the old one
|
|
- `-t`: Add the next arg (quoted string) as a twtxt entry
|
|
|
|
Combined argument format like `./build.sh -rdt "twt stuff"` is not supported. Use this format instead:
|
|
```
|
|
./build.sh -r -d -t "twt stuff"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## debugging
|
|
|
|
If you run into issues with your markup crashing `eureka`, edit the `build.sh` file to uncomment the linux debug build line and comment the fast build; this will show you a stack trace of where you are running into buffer overflows, and give you a hint of where your markup is messed up. To see the individual file that has the error, also uncomment the line in `fpinject()` that prints the file names.

# markup
|
|
|
|
There is a markup language which makes writing long blog posts, memex entries, etc easier by reducing the need for typing out HTML tags:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// shorthand for crosslinking (assuming the file is inc/page_name.htm)
|
|
{page name}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for transclusion (assuming the file is inc/page_name.htm)
|
|
{/page name}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for arbitary link
|
|
{*destination url|text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for an image you can click to see the full sized version
|
|
{:anchor-id|image url|alt text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for an image with arbitrary link destination
|
|
{?anchor-id|destination url|image url|alt text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for an audio player
|
|
{_/path/to/media}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for paragraphs, can embed other markup inside it
|
|
{¶graph text {with a link} {@and some bold text}}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for ordered lists, can embed other markup inside it
|
|
{#
|
|
{-item one}
|
|
{-item two}
|
|
{-item three}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for unordered lists, can embed other markup inside it
|
|
{,
|
|
{-item one}
|
|
{-item two}
|
|
{-item three}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for bold
|
|
{@bold text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for italic
|
|
{~italic text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for code
|
|
{`short code}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for pre
|
|
{$longer code}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for quote
|
|
{'short quote}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for blockquote
|
|
{>longer quote}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for strikethrough
|
|
{\crossed-out text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for level 3 heading
|
|
{!heading text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for level 4 heading
|
|
{.heading text}
|
|
|
|
// shorthand for publish date (renders as <time class='publish-date'>)
|
|
{+2022-02-22}
|
|
```

- **LEXICON_SIZE**: max size of the `Lexicon`, corresponds to the number of pages `eureka` can keep track of
|
|
- **TAG\_BODY\_SIZE**: max size for an individual markup body (ie, a markup token as above, minus the curly brackets and the rune), in bytes
|
|
- **NAME**: the title of the site
|

|
|
- **LOGO**: currently unused
|
|
- **ABOUT**: HTML content for the front page, placed between `<header>` and `<nav>`
