UNK is a very small static site generator.
It includes a markup language that all fits within 1,000 bytes.
UNK takes a set of files in a directory, applies a template to them, and output them into another directory as HTML files ready for a server. To keep a very small size, UNK delegates most file processing to TM, the main template. It delegates by using an idea found in shab (a bash templating language): each input file is read as a heredoc, which enables shell interpolation. So the template, as opposed to the engine, can do all the heavy-lifting of index generation and navigation
This is free and open source software.
There are three main scripts:
- UNK (239 bytes), a POSIX-sh script that applies the template to each page and publishes them to the output dir.
- LHT (241 bytes), an awk script that serves as a (very) basic markup language.
- L (502 bytes), the default template script for UNK.
