For our first assignment we are to make a SSG in whatever language we want. So I decided to make mine is C++ because its been a while since I last did any C++. I've been taking a lot of web development courses two semesters ago but not really many C++, and I just learned C# at my co-op job over the summer. So my C++ is a little rusty so I figured this is the best project to get the rust off again.
So here is LENNAH, my simple static site generator! Why is it called LENNAH? I just randomly got a character from a game and liked the name.
LENNAH takes a txt file or a folder containing txt file(s) and converts them into html files with simple formatting.
Features
- The first line of the txt will be set as the HTML title and be given <h1> tags
- If a folder is given as the input path it can recursively search deep folders within it
How to use
- Clone the repo from here.
- Get the absolute path of the LennahSSG.exe (e.g. C:\Users\<Username>\LennahSSG\Debug\LennahSSG.exe)
- Open the console and enter the path followed by an argument
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
-h, --help
|
Displays the help information |
-v, --version
|
Displays the current version number |
-i <PATH>, --input <PATH>
|
Converts txt file(s) at the <PATH> to html |
Example
Here's a little example of how to use LENNAH
C:\Users\User\LennahSSG\Debug\LennahSSG.exe -i "Silver Blaze.txt"
This will result in this sample html page.
More features will be added throughout my open source course so I'm excited to see what comes next for LENNAH!
