ingsoc is a static site generator written in Python with the purpose of
generating raymii.org. It differs from other static site generators because it
does not create a blog-like site, but it is focused on pages and structure. It
also does not use a template engine. It generates categories, pages, tags, an
XML sitemap and a RSS feed. It takes markdown files with a yaml config header as
input, and outputs html.

I sometimes write updates on new changes in ingsoc, those articles can be found
[on this page][1].

### Usage

ingsoc requires three directories and content to work. The directory structure
can be as below:



   $ tree
   .
   |-- ci.sh
   |-- config.yml
   |-- minify.py
   |-- newspeak.py
   |-- inc
   |   |-- css
   |   |   |-- example.css
   |   |-- img
   |   |   |-- example.png
   |   |-- js
   |   |   |-- example.js
   |-- src
   |   |-- software
   |   |   |-- ingsoc.md
   |   |   |-- Awesome_Example_Application.md
   |   `-- tutorials
   |       |-- Awesome_Tutorial_1.md
   |       |-- Tutorial_2.md
   |-- out
   |   |-- everything.html
   |   |-- feed.xml
   |   |-- inc
   |   |   |-- css
   |   |   |   |-- example.css
   |   |   |-- img
   |   |   |   |-- example.png
   |   |   |-- js
   |   |   |   |-- example.js
   |   |-- index.html
   |   |-- sitemap.xml
   |   |-- software
   |   |   |-- ingsoc.html
   |   |   |-- Awesome_Example_Application.html
   |   |-- tags
   |   |   |-- tag1.html
   |   |   |-- tag2.html
   |   |   |-- tag3.html
   |   `-- tutorials
   |       |-- Awesome_Tutorial_1.html
   |       |-- Tutorial_2.html
   `-- tests
       |-- broken-link-check.py
       |-- dead-link-checker.py
       |-- spell-check.py
       |-- w3-validate.sh
       `-- words-to-ignore.txt


I have a `src` directory with my content, which is written in markdown. The
`inc` directory gets copied over to the output folder, it has the css, js,
images and other static content. The `out` folder is the folder where ingsoc
puts its generated html.

### Content

A content item is a markdown file, with a yaml header. The header looks like
this:



   title: "Example Title"
   author: "John Doe"
   category: "software"
   date: "29-06-2015"
   lastupdate: "05-10-2019"
   summary: "This is a great article about some stuff related to Lorum Ipsum. The summary of this article is even more awesome."
   tags:
     - example
     - lorum
     - ipsum
     - tag
   ---


Then below the three dashes (`---`) the actual markdown content is placed. The
`category` item is what also end up in the menu. The date and summary are used
in the RSS. The summary is the only field which is not required.

There is a post generation step in which the css and generated html are
minified. The `minify: False` optional option (default is True) allows a page to
be excluded from the minification.

### Configuration

There is also a `config.yml` file. It looks like this:



   title: "Awesome Website"
   subtitle: "Awesome Slogan!"
   rootdir: "./src"
   outdir: "out"
   incfolder: "./inc"
   breadcrumbs: "yes"
   tags: "yes"
   rsstitle: "Awesome Website RSS Feed"
   rssdescr: "The Awesome Website RSS feed, all about awesome stuff"
   rssurl: "https://raymii.org/s/"

   homepagetext: >
       <h3>Welcome!</h3>
       This is the <strong>most awesome site</strong> on the entire internet.


The `homepagetext` item is the raw html code which is put on the index.html
code. the `tags` and `breadcrumbs` are used to define if tags and breadcrumbs
should be generated and placed or not.

### Requirements

 * python 2.7+ (fully Python 3 compatible)
 * [Sundown/Misaka][2]
 * dateutils
 * [pyyaml][3]

The minification also requires the `cssmin` and `htmlmin.minify` modules. It is
fully threaded, minifying at least 4 pages at once.

To install them in a standard ubuntu/debian:



   sudo apt-get install python-pip


and then:



   sudo pip install misaka pyyaml dateutils
