notmarkdown
━━━━━━━━━━━
(DIR) {Notmarkdown} is a very simple site generator tool, that support a simple
subset of markdown in which this document is formatted: notmarkdown.
It supports publication of the same .md files for both http+html and
gopher+gph.
This documentation is maintained in the `./doc/` directory of the git repo, and
on `make site`, a build target regenerates the documentation using
notmarkdown.
How to use it?
──────────────
(DIR) The {notmarkdown(1)} tool will search for `*.md` files in all `$srcdir` passed
as arguments, and each file `$path/file.$ext` found, gets copied to the
matching `$dstdir/$path/file.$ext` directory.
┊ $ notmarkdown-html index.md >index.html
┊ $ notmarkdown-gph index.md >index.gph
This converts only the content, and adding a header can be done with cat:
┊ $ notmarkdown-html index.md | cat head.html - >index.html
┊ $ notmarkdown-gph index.md | cat head.gph - >index.gph
How to get it?
──────────────
┊ $ git clone git://git.z0.is/notmarkdown
┊ $ cd notmarkdown
┊ $ make PREFIX=/usr/local MANPREFIX=/usr/local/man install
How does it work?
─────────────────
It does not support editing files directly through the website: it is one shell
script calling one awk script on every page, generating a site in one of these
formats:
• html - traditionnal format of the Web, through the notmarkdown-html backend.
(DIR) • gph - {geomyidae(1)}'s format for Gopher, through the notmarkdow-gph
backend.
To add a new converter backend, add in $PATH a script called notmarkdown-$ext
that reads notmarkdown from stdin and sends the targetted format to stdout. For
instance, a notmarkdown-txt backend that print the document unchanged or a
notmarkdown-pdf aiming paper publication.
How to have links for both HTTP and Gopher?
───────────────────────────────────────────
Strip the protocol part (`http:`, `https:`, `gopher:`) from all your own links,
and eventually remove the domain name as well.
`//example.com/wiki/` and `/wiki/` both get mapped to:
• https://example.com/wiki/index.html (on web browser with HTTPS)
• http://example.com/wiki/index.html (on web browser with HTTP)
• gopher://example.com/wiki/index.gph (on gopher browsers)
So instead of /wiki/page-name.md, use /wiki/page-name/index.md, and use links
to `/wiki/page-name/` (with a trailing `/`, important for markdown-gph(1)).
How to handle HTTP vHosts on Gopher?
────────────────────────────────────
No vHosts on Gopher: multiple domains with the same destination point to the
same website, unlike the Web where you can redirect them as you wish.
For instance if `//doc.example.com/` and `//git.example.com/` point to the same
server, geomyidae(1) will pick the same `/index.gph` for both. A solution is to
always use prefixes, like `//doc.example.com/doc/` or
`//git.example.com/git/`.
Is notmarkdown different from Markdown?
───────────────────────────────────────
notmarkdown is Markdown without nesting and HTML. This avoids all edge cases.
For instance, there is a good support for escaping and ``backtick`` quoting.
