Logi

by Lin Jen-Shin (godfat)

DESCRIPTION:

Highly customizable static blog/wiki generator.

FEATURES:

Generate posts via external commands, so you can customize it easily.
Built-in post/list generator using tilt. Support any tilt format.
Specify configuration in config/logi.rb.
Basic wiki syntax: [[wiki]] or [[wiki|text]].
Write your own layouts.

REQUIREMENTS:

Ruby 1.9+ (Also tested with JRuby and Rubinius)
Tilt for built-in post/list generator: gem install tilt
Kramdown for markdown generator: gem install kramdown

INSTALLATION:

If you have Ruby installed, you could simply run:

gem install logi
gem install tilt     # If you want to use built-in generators
gem install kramdown # If you want to use Markdown with tilt

If you need to install Ruby, first you should try the one provided by your package manager.

For Arch Linux, run:

sudo pacman -Syu     # Update packages list first
sudo pacman -S ruby

For Mac OS X, if you have Homebrew installed, run:

brew update          # Update packages list first
brew install ruby --with-doc

For Windows, you might want to try RubyInstaller.

If your package manager does not yet provide Ruby 2.0, you could try ruby-install which could compile and handle Ruby's own dependencies for you.

Or just grab the source tarball and install it manually.

SYNOPSIS:

You can check the example blog. Or read help:

$ logi -h
Usage: logi \[OPTIONS\] \[PATH to logi root\]
logi options:
  -c, --color          Color mode (default)
  -n, --no-color    No color mode
  -V, --verbose      Verbose mode (default)
  -q, --quiet          Quiet mode
  -h, --help        Print this message
  -v, --version     Print the version
defaults:
    root directory  .
    post directory  post
  layout directory  layout
  output directory  public
      post command  post
       layout file  /path/to/logi/lib/logi/layout/default.html.erb

Built-in generators

Write your own generators

Suppose you want to use pandoc to generate your post, you could build a command line tool called logi-pandoc which the first argument would be the path to the original post file, and the second argument to the path of the layout file. Also, read from stdin for post content preprocessed for the wiki syntax.

So you could think of it like this:

logi-wiki post.md | logi-pandoc post.md layout.html.erb > post.html

For a more complex generator, you could see logi-list which would generate a post listing all the posts.
