slweb
=====

slweb is a static website generator which aims at being simplistic. It
transforms custom Markdown-like syntax into HTML.


Q&A
---

Q: Is this suckless?
A: No. SGML, and by extension, HTML, isn't suckless.

Q: Why do you call it "simple" then?
A: Because one is not the synonym for the other.

Q: Why not make a website generator as a shell script?
A: slweb was a shell script in its conception (check its history of commits in
   git). However, I wanted to implement Markdown links with link ids
   [like][this]. This requires multiple passes by the parser and is better
   implemented as a full-blown program in C anyway. The other reason was that
   sed and awk have limits, which some of my pages hit.

Q: My static website generator is "truly simple", this is not simple!
A: Good for you. By the way, that is a statement and not a question.
