Project description
corvid
corvid is an opinionated simple static site generator.
It processes Markdown files, static assets and directories producing a 1:1 heiarchy of compiled content.
It includes a reloadable local development server, supports custom markdown frontmatter and Jinja templates.
Installation
$ pip install corvid
Running
By default corvid expects to be run in a directory with an input directory. With no parameters, corvid will process all files in this directory into the output directory, and exit.
$ corvid --help
Usage: corvid [OPTIONS]
Options:
-l, --listen Enable live reloading
-b, --bind TEXT Host to bind to

Example
Given the following directory layout:
├── input
│ └── index.md
└── templates
└── default.html
With the following file contents:
input/index.md
---
title: This is the Index
---
Welcome
templates/default.html
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ title }}</title>
<body>
{{ content }}
</body>
</body>
Running corvid will produce the additional output directory:
.
├── input
│ └── index.md
├── output
│ └── index.html
└── templates
└── default.html
And the contents of the file will be:
output/index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the Index</title>
<head>
<body>
<p>Welcome</p>
</body>
</body>
Using templates
Custom templates can be set by specifying the path to the template inside the templates directory as the template frontmatter.
See /example for a full example.
