# 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/`.
