SSGo

A simple Static Site Generator built using Go language.

Lets you generate HTML files from either a single .txt file or multiple .txt files in a given directory.

Preview of generated HTML is available at https://devils2ndself.github.io/SSGo.

Installation

In order to build the application, you first need to get Go CLI.

To build a binary or executable, run:

git clone https://github.com/devils2ndself/SSGo.git
cd SSGO
go build ssgo.go 

Or go install to install globally.

Usage

• ssgo --input [in] --output [out[ - Generate HTML from .txt file at in path (can be a single .txt file or directory) to out path.
  --output is optional, the default out is dist folder in the current directory

• ssgo --version - Display installed version of SSGo

• ssgo --help - Display detailed help message

Please note, that if built locally, some users will need to use ./ssgo instead of ssgo.

Also, please be aware that shorthand flags, like -i, take as the argument everything that follows that character, i.e. -info will be understood as -i nfo. It's not me, it's the standards :/

Features

• Generates HTML files for each .txt file in input.

• Encloses every paragraph of text separated by a blank line in <p> tag.

• If the first line of the .txt file is followed by 2 empty lines, it will be used as a title. The <title> will be assigned to it and it will be enclosed into <h1> tag instead of regular <p> - optional feature #1.

• The name of the generated HTML files will be the same as the original .txt files.

• Also provides a cool style to generate HTML - optional feature #6.

• Generated files go to dist folder unless any other path is specified with --output flag. If the new output path does not exist, it will create a new directory to accommodate - optional feature #2.

• If the output directory is path, each time new text is used for HTML generation, the directory will be wiped completely. Be careful, don't lose valuable files there!

• If --output is specified, the directory at path will not be erased like with dist folder. Just in case someone specifies --output C:\...
