      1 bliper (BLog engine In PERl) v0.2
      2 =================================
      3 
      4 A perl script that reads all posts from main-articles/ as markdown and creates
      5 them as HTML articles in output/ dir. It also reads and creates individual
      6 pages based on files that exist in pages/ directory.
      7 
      8 Deps: Text-Markdown (http://search.cpan.org/~bobtfish/Text-Markdown-1.000031/)
      9 
     10 It also creates a main page as index.html with all links to posts and pages
     11 generated.

     41 _bin/bliper-create-post.sh_
     42 	use this instead of `touch <file>` for your posts. It just prepends `date '+%Y-%m-%d'` to the beginning of the filename.
     43 
     44 _bin/bliper-deploy.sh_
     45 	is a script tha "deploys" the website. It's based on rsync and I've
     46 	included a sample config. Just change "user@host:/path/to/output" with
     47 	the real one.
     48 
     49 _bin/bliper-generate.pl_
     50 	is the main script that parses every post in input/ and recreates it as
     51 	HTML in output/. It also creates the index.html page and appends all links
     52 	to posts.
     53 
     54 _bin/bliper-menu-creation.sh_
     55 	upon generation, a file called 'tmp' gets created. Then, this script
     56 	replaces all "insertmenu"(in capital) strings in templates with the
     57 	real menu. Nothing fancy, but you need to run this before deployment or
     58 	viewing to generate your menus in all pages.
     59 
     60 _main-articles_
     61 	is the directory which serves as the place to create all posts in markdown.
     62 
     63 _output_
     64 	is the directory which all generated pages are placed. Edit the style.css
     65 	file according to your needs.
     66 
     67 _pages_
     68 	is the directory which produced all new pages (again, sample included).
     69 
     70 _template_
     71 	main-top is the top section of the main page.
     72 	main-bottom is the bottom section of the main page.
     73 	page-top is a generic template for the top section of any post page.
     74 	page-bottom is a generic template for the bottom section of any post page.
     75 	footer is just the footer appended in all pages.
     76 
     77 I've included a demo file in input/markdown-notes. Just run `bliper-generate.pl` in your main directory, `bliper-menu-creation.sh` and `$BROWSER output/index.html` to see the demo. There is also the option to rsync the files to your server with `bliper-deploy.sh`
