python-webgen

A set of python scripts and html templates to generate blog-style websites.

Usage

For built in help, use the --help option.

General Usage:

Basic usage:

python webgen.py <input folder> <output folder>
This will use the default location for the template files (./templates/) and the css file (./templates/stylesheet.css). This will also set the title to simply "Blog", use --site_title to change that.

Example use:

python webgen.py --site_title "Chloe's Blog" --title_all --css_file ~/css/custom_v2.css ~/Blog/posts/ ~/Blog/output/

This will generate a site with a title of "Chloe's Blog," which will be applied to the HTML title of all the articles, in addition to the article title. It will also use a custom CSS file from ~/css/custom_v2.css which is different from the default. The posts will come from a folder in the ~/Blog/posts/ folder and the completed HTML files will be placed in ~/Blog/output/.

Availible Arguments:
