Daino: A Static Site Generator - Test1

A static site generator designed by an academic to allow:

• web pages written as (Pandoc) markdown (with YAML header for title and bibtex references, etc.),
• page layout inspired by Tufte and using w3c framework to adapt to different screen sizes,
• publication list for download produced from bibtex database,
• offer printable pdf files for all content; for some directories compilation from multiple pages on a single booklet page,
• web site using multiple languages,
• content and appearances (theme) separated,
• a single yaml file for setup, and
• a self-contained result which can be hosted on any web server.

Software reuse:

Daino uses pandoc and other packages on Hackage (e.g. shake, twitch, scotty)It was influenced by Chris Penner's slick, newer, and seemingly simpler is Ema by Sridhar Ratnakumar, but the documentation did not detail its features neither how it is built.

. Relies on git for version management and runs on PC(AMD) or Raspberry Pi 4 (ARM64) hardware.

Example site

Thn example site shown here can be donloaded or clones from github.

If daino can be installed from hackage or downloaded or cloned from git clone git@github.com:andrewufrank/daino.git and installed with cabal install or stack installInitial compilation and linking brings in a large number of packages, e.g. pandoc, and may take a while; on a typically AMD computer 30..60 Minutes, on a ARM64 (e.g. RaspberryPi4) twice as long for the initial installation.

.

To run the test site, start daino in it dough directory daino -qs and rendered in a browser as localhost:3000. The web pages written in markdown can be edited and the server restarted to update the site.

Running your own site

Copying the folder douch to a suitable directory and edit the settinsNN.yaml file found there is enough to start your own site with running daini -qs in this directory.
