README

Rustsite

rustsite is a customizable static site generator written in Rust. It converts Markdown files into HTML using a template engine, making it easy to generate static websites with dynamic content.

Features

  • Convert Markdown files to HTML
  • Use customizable templates for HTML output
  • Parse and include front matter metadata in your pages
  • Simple command-line interface for generating static sites

Installation

You can use rustsite directly from crates.io. To use it as a binary, install it using Cargo:

cargo install rustsitemd

Usage

After installing rustsite, you can use it from the command line:

rustsite

  • <source-dir>: The directory containing your Markdown files.
  • <destination-dir>: The directory where the generated HTML files will be saved.
  • <template-file>: The path to your HTML template file.

Example

Assume you have the following structure:

project/
│
├── content/
│   ├── index.md
│   └── about.md
│
├── template.html
└── output/

Your index.md might look like this:

---markdown
title: "Home"
---

# Welcome to My Site

This is the home page.

Your template.html might look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
    {{ content }}
</body>
</html>

Run the following command to generate your site:

rustsite content output template.html

This will convert index.md and any other Markdown files in content/ into HTML files in the output/ directory using the template.html template.

Functions

generate_site(source_dir: &str, destination_dir: &str, template_file: &str) -> io::Result<()>

Generates the static site from Markdown files in source_dir, outputs HTML files to destination_dir, and uses template_file for the HTML template.

parse_front_matter(content: &str) -> (HashMap<String, String>, String)

markdown_to_html(markdown: &str) -> String
