Lyr's Static Site Generator
The idea is to generate static html, css, js files based on custom markdown format.
This uses a custom markdown parser which will not necessarly follow official specifications. I'm making it to the point that it is usable for me, PR's are welcome! See LMarkdown
down for more information.
Usage
Install binary
Generate static files
This is how you would generate lyrx from its content
You can also use links to markdown to generate content
[!NOTE] Any links from the input markdown file to other markdown files have to be contained within the parent folder of your input markdown file
LMarkdown (Lyr's Markdown)
LMarkdown tries to follow Commonmark markdown specifications although deviating wherever it makes sense to make page renderning easier.
Structure of a lmarkdown file:
{MARKDOWN}
eg.
[Check out my other page](./test.md)
Architecture
In short this is what happens when executing LSSG
Given index markdown file path
|
Sitetree: Recursively find links to resources in parsed pages and stylesheets (stylesheets, fonts, icons, other pages)
|
Sitetree: Add these resources as nodes into Sitetree
|
Go through all nodes in tree
if resources
Copy resource
if page => use modular HtmlRenderer to turn lmarkdown tokens into html, and write to file
HtmlRenderer: Create Domtree
|
HtmlRenderer: Delecate modification of Domtree to modules based on LMarkdown Tokens
|
BlogModule: Render Token if applicable
|
DefaultModule: Fallback rendering of Token, it should render every kind of Token
Roadmap

- Add html! macro for converting html to rust on compile time
- Make default options root of Attributes (don't require [default] block)
- Add recovery and logging instead of panicking
- panic on broken link
- Download and install links to external resources (fonts, css, enc.)
- Make importing pages from notion easier
- Don't load all files into memory, might cause issues for large resource files or big sites
- Code support
- Add file minification for css
