mkht.php

mkht.php is a PHP script for building HTML/CSS sites from source documents in PHP, Gemini, Pandoc Markdown, HTML and CSS.

For my personal use cases, this project include some specific tweaks that may not be fully or correctly documented.

Usage

Place your pages tree in /*.md.

mkht.php [-f] [site_path] [destination]

-f forces generation of every file, erasing already generated files.

If site_path is not set, it will default to current directory.

destination is optional and can be:

onion if you want links ending with .onion when available (function clearnetOrOnion)

Input

Source pages must end in .md and can use Markdown, HTML and PHP.

The following files have special meaning

/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>

Files starting with a dot or not ending in .gmi, .md or .html are ignored.

Files containing draft in their name (separated from other characters by .) are ignored.

Security note: as PHP code is executed, input files need to be trusted

Output

/target/*.gmi (if using .gmi extension in /src)
/target/*.md
/target/*.html
/target/*.html.gz

Note that format translation is only done in the following order: 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

IDs are attributed to titles according to their content, therefore modifying a title breaks links to page sections.

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.
