#  s4g - Stupid Simple Static-Site Generator
# ---------------------------------------------
#
#  This is a static-site generator, that can be used to convert Markdown files into HTML.
#  It is extremely simple and extremely opinionated, as you can see if you read the code below.
#  A lot of paths and directories are hard-coded, to suit my workflow.
#
#  To use it, create a directory for your project (e.g. 'website'). Inside 'website', create
#  two directories: 'source' (which holds your Markdown files) and 'output' (which holds the
#  converted HTML.
#
#  In addition to these directories, three files are needed in 'website':
#  1. 'header.html' - A header, which is prepended to every source file. Unfortunately, this must
#		      be written in regular HTML.
#  2. 'footer.html' - A footer, which is appended to every source file. Also must be written in HTML.
#  3. 'styles.css' - A global stylesheet.
#
# The script takes in a parameter, which is the directory that contains the 'source' and 'output' folders.
#
# If you have any comments or questions, please email aadhavan@twomorecents.org.
