WPWMM4

With wpwmm4 can create web pages with simply 'make' and 'm4'.

Requirements:

  • make (BSD's make, use bmake package of your distro)
  • m4 (compatible with BSD's m4 and GNU's m4 too)
  • some knowledge about HTML and programming

Features:

  • incremental build (with make)
  • automatically generated pages (similar webpage with different content)
  • layouts
  • expandable, programmable via m4 or can insert output of any program

Nutshell:

  • convert items of ${TARGETS}: ${SRCDIR}/.m4 -> ${DESTDIR}/.html
  • create items of ${TARGETS_MANUAL}: use own programs, scripts
  • create items of ${VIRTUALS}: use templates from ${VIRT_DIR}
  • can call scripts from scripts/ directory and use their outputs

Example web page is uzsolt.hu (only hungarian language). It has multi-level menu (without Javascript, only pure HTML), automatically generated pages (for example galleries with next and prev buttons). Its source is available at github or own git repo.
