## Usage
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
Place your pages tree in `/*.md` .
`mkht.php [-f] [site_path] [destination]`
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
`-f` forces generation of every file, erasing already generated files.
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
If `site_path` is not set, it will default to current directory.
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
`destination` is optional and can be:
* `onion` if you want links ending with .onion when available (function `clearnetOrOnion` )

2023-05-30 20:36:40 +00:00
## Input
2024-01-15 18:55:39 +00:00
Source pages must end in `.md` and can use Gemtext, Markdown, HTML and PHP.
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
2024-01-15 18:55:39 +00:00
The following optional files have special meaning:
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
`/config.ini`
: some default settings can be changed by this file
`/style.css`
: additional CSS
`/head.inc.html`
: added just before `</head>`
`/header.inc.php`
: added just after `<body>`
`/end.inc.html`
: added just before `</body>`
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2024-01-15 18:55:39 +00:00
`/po4a.cfg`
: [po4a ](https://po4a.org/ ) configuration file
2023-11-24 19:49:37 +00:00
Files starting with a dot (except for `.htaccess` and `.well-known` ) are ignored.
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
Files containing `draft` in their name (separated from other characters by `.` ) are ignored.
2023-10-14 23:18:44 +00:00
Security note: any PHP code in input files is executed with the same permissions as `mkht.php`
2023-05-30 20:36:40 +00:00
## Output
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
* `/target/*.md`
* `/target/*.html`
* `/target/*.html.gz`
2021-10-09 18:13:55 +00:00
Note that format translation is only done in the following order:
2023-05-30 20:36:40 +00:00
Gemini > Markdown > HTML, which means that the last of these formats you will use will be the first that will be readable by hypertext browsers. (PHP is always executed first.)

## Metadata persistence
2023-05-30 20:36:40 +00:00
2023-09-04 21:31:16 +00:00
IDs are attributed to titles according to their content, therefore modifying a title breaks links to page sections.
2023-05-30 20:36:40 +00:00
### For atom feeds
* Make sure modification timestamps of source files are preserved. For example, `cp --preserve=timestamps` must be used instead of just `cp` when backing up or migrating.
* Renaming/moving a page creates a new page and delete the older.
