# SYNOPSIS
|
||||
|
||||
_kiln_ [--html]
|
||||
_kiln_ [-c <config>] [-t <task>]
|
||||
|
||||
# OPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
\--format <format>
|
||||
Specifies the output format to use. Supported formats include gemini and html. Defaults to "gemini".
|
||||
\-c <config>
|
||||
Specifies the configuration file to use. Defaults to "config.toml".
|
||||
|
||||
# SITE STRUCTURE
|
||||
\-t <task>
|
||||
Specifies the task to run. Defaults to "all", which runs all tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
A kiln site is structured in the following way:
|
||||
# OVERVIEW
|
||||
|
||||
A kiln site is built in one or more steps called _tasks_.
|
||||
|
||||
There is only one default task called "gemini" which builds a Gemini site.
|
||||
|
||||
The following directories are used by default:
|
||||
|
||||
[[ *Directory*
|
||||
:[ *Description*
|
||||
| content/
|
||||
: Site source
|
||||
: Content directory
|
||||
| static/
|
||||
: Static content directory
|
||||
| templates/
|
||||
: Site templates
|
||||
: Template directory
|
||||
| public/
|
||||
: Site destination
|
||||
: Output directory
|
||||
|
||||
All files in the source directory will be copied to the destination directory.
|
||||
If the file is a Gemini file, it will be passed through a template and the result will be written to the destination directory.
|
||||
Any file or directory whose name begins with "\_" will be ignored.
|
||||
Tasks can be configured to use different static content and output directories.
|
||||
The content and template directories are shared between tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
# TEMPLATES
|
||||
|
||||
kiln looks for templates in the *templates* directory.
|
||||
Templates use the Go templating language.
|
||||
The following templates are supported:
|
||||
# CONFIGURATION
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration file uses the _TOML_ configuration file format. For more
|
||||
information on TOML, see https://toml.io/en/v0.4.0.
|
||||
|
||||
The following keys are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
[[ *Key*
|
||||
:[ *Description*
|
||||
| title
|
||||
: Site title
|
||||
| urls
|
||||
: A list of site URLs
|
||||
|
||||
Site URLs may contain paths, but should not end with a trailing slash. Multiple
|
||||
site URLs may be specified for sites that are available at multiple locations.
|
||||
|
||||
## CONTENT DIRECTORY
|
||||
|
||||
The content directory contains content that should be processed before
|
||||
being published. Any file or directory whose name begins with "\_" will be
|
||||
ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
Files in the content directory may be preprocessed, run through templates, and
|
||||
postprocessed (in that order). Each operation takes the output of the last
|
||||
operation as input.
|
||||
|
||||
## STATIC CONTENT DIRECTORY
|
||||
|
||||
All files in the static content directory will be copied to the output
|
||||
directory without modification. Static assets like images should be stored in
|
||||
this directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## TEMPLATE DIRECTORY
|
||||
|
||||
The template directory contains templates for use when building the site.
|
||||
Templates use the Go templating language. The following templates are supported:
