Genit
================

Genit builds a **static web site**, that is a web site without server side programing language
and database. A site consists only of xhtml code (+ css and medias) and eventually of javascript.

The project is in early development stage, see
[project guidelines](https://github.com/lkdjiin/genit/blob/master/project_guidelines.markdown).

Description
-----------

It is a command line framework, essentially based on conventions.

Genit must above all be :

  + **simple**
  + **readable**
  + **minimalist**

Genit is based on the idea that *we don't have* to learn any new languages to manage templates
because **xml can do it well**.

For example, to generate the xhtml including the 4 latest news:

    <generate class="news" number="4" />

And more simply, to generate the footer:

    <generate class="footer" />


Install
-------------------------

First install ruby and rubygem (if there are not installed on your system) then:

    gem install genit


Usage
--------------------------

    genit create my-site
    cd my-site
(*edit some pages*)
