# _kewt_
### Pronounced "cute"
# [Go to the website](https://kewt.krzak.org)
_kewt_ is a minimalist ssg inspired by _[werc](http://werc.cat-v.org/)_ and _[kew](https://github.com/uint23/kew)_
It's meant to be a static site generator, like _[kew](https://github.com/uint23/kew)_ but use only default (POSIX) tooling, like _[werc](http://werc.cat-v.org/)_ (and definitely unlike _[kew](https://github.com/uint23/kew)_)
## Features
- No dependencies
- Supports many embed types
- Automatic css variable replacement for older browsers
- Automatic inlining and embedding of many filetypes with `\![link]` or `\![alt](link)`
- Inline html support
- MFM `$font` and `\<plain>` tags
- Admonition support (that's what the blocks like the warning block below are called)
If you want to **force** a file to be inlined, use `\!![]` instead of `\![]`
## Installation
You can clone the repository to use `kewt.sh` directly, or you can download the standalone executable, which bundles all dependencies into a single file:
```sh
curl -L -o kewt https://git.krzak.org/N0VA/kewt/releases/latest/download/kewt
chmod +x kewt
```
On Arch Linux, _kewt_ is available on the AUR:
- [kewt-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kewt-bin) — prebuilt standalone binary from the latest release
- [kewt-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kewt-git) — built from the latest git source
## Usage
```sh
./kewt.sh --help
./kewt.sh --new [title]
./kewt.sh --from <src> --to <out>
./kewt.sh [src] [out]
```
`--new [title]` creates a new site directory with a copied `site.conf` and a default `index.md`.
## site.conf
```conf
title = "kewt"
style = "kewt"
dir_indexes = true
single_file_index = true
flatten = false
order = ""
home_name = "Home"
show_home_in_nav = true
nav_links = ""
nav_extra = ""
footer = "made with <a href="https://kewt.krzak.org">kewt</a>"
logo = ""
display_logo = false
display_title = true
logo_as_favicon = true
favicon = ""
```
- `title` site title
- `style` style file name from `./styles` (without `.css`)
- `dir_indexes` generate directory index pages when missing `index.md`
- `single_file_index` if a directory has one markdown file and no `index.md`, use that file as `index.html`
- `flatten` flatten sidebar directory levels
- `order` comma separated file/directory name list to order the sidebar (alphabetical by default)
- `home_name` text for the home link in navigation (default: "Home")
- `show_home_in_nav` show home link in navigation (default: true)
- `nav_links` comma separated extra nav links, as bare URLs or Markdown links like `[Label](https://example.com)`
- `nav_extra` raw HTML appended inside the `<nav>` after the generated link list
- `footer` footer html/text shown at the bottom of pages
- `logo` logo image path (used in header if enabled)
- `display_logo` show logo in header
- `display_title` show title text in header
- `logo_as_favicon` use `logo` as favicon
- `favicon` explicit favicon path (used when `logo_as_favicon` is false or no logo is set)
## Ignores
- `.kewtignore`: Files/directories to ignore. If empty, the whole directory gets ignored
- `.kewthide`: Files/directories to hide from navigation but still process. Same empty rules as with ignore
- `.kewtpreserve`: Files/directories to copy but not convert markdown to html. Same empty rules again
## Embeds
- `\![link]`:
- local image/audio/video files are embedded as media tags
- local text/code files are inlined directly
- global image/audio/video links are embedded as media tags
- other global links are embedded as `<iframe>`
- `\![alt](link)` works the same, with `alt` used for images
- `\!![]` and `\!![alt](link)` force inline local file contents
