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

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

Genit is written in Ruby but there is no needs to know the Ruby language.

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:

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

And more simply, to generate the footer:

    <genit class="footer" />
