It is an INI-style file, with some predefined +sections, that will provide the data required by blogc-make(1) rules to +build websites. + +**blogcfile** must be valid UTF-8. + +## OPTIONS + +### Global variables + +The `[global]` section contains all the blogc(1) variables that should be +passed to all blogc(1) calls. + +The following variables are required and should be always provided: + + * `AUTHOR_NAME`: + The name of the website main author. + + * `AUTHOR_EMAIL`: + The email of the website main author. + + * `BASE_DOMAIN`: + The base domain of the website. + + * `SITE_TITLE`: + The website title. + + * `SITE_TAGLINE`: + The website tagline. + +### Settings + +blogc-make(1) relies on a predefined set of rules to build the websites, +however these rules can be customized with the following settings, from the +`[settings]` section: + + * `atom_ext` (default: `.xml`): + The extension of the generated Atom feeds. + + * `atom_order` (default: `DESC`): + The ordering (`ASC` or `DESC`) of the Atom feeds. Please note that the files + are not sorted by date, they are sorted by their order in the `[posts]` + section. + + * `atom_posts_per_page` (default: `10`): + Number of posts per page in the Atom feeds. + + * `atom_prefix` (default: `atom`): + The prefix of the generated Atom feeds. It is relative to the output + directory. With the default values of the settings, the main Atom feed will + be `atom.xml`, the Atom feed for the `foo` tag will be `atom/foo.xml` and so + on. + + * `content_dir` (default: `content`): + The directory that stores the source files. This directory is relative + to `blogcfile`. + + * `date_format` (default: `%b %d, %Y, %I:%M %p GMT`): + The strftime(3) format that should be used when formating dates. Please note + that the times are always handled as UTC/GMT. + + * `html_ext` (default: `/index.html`): + The extension of the generated HTML files. The default value will result on + friendly URL, by creating directories with `index.html` files inside, instead + of creating the HTML file directly. The `index` page is a special case: + instead of generating something like `/index/index.html`, it will generate + `/index.html`, because this is behavior that most users would expect. + + * `html_order` (default: `DESC`): + The ordering (`ASC` or `DESC`) of the posts in the listing indexes. + Please note that the files are not sorted by date, they are sorted by + their order in the `[posts]` section. + + * `index_prefix` (default: unset): + The prefix of the index HTML page, that is the listing of blog posts. This + option is useful if the user wants to host a page in the root of the website, + and move the posts listing index to a subdirectory. + + * `locale` (default: unset): + The locale to be used when calling blogc(1). E.g. `en_US.UTF-8`. + + * `main_template` (default: `main.tmpl`): + The template file that should be used when building HTML files. This file + is relative to `template_dir`. + + * `pagination_prefix` (default: `page`): + The prefix of the generated pagination pages. It is relative to the + output directory. + + * `post_prefix` (default: `post`): + The prefix of the posts file names. It is used for both content and output + directories, and is relative to `content_dir` and the output directory. + + * `posts_per_page` (default: `10`): + Number of posts per page in the pagination pages. + + * `source_ext` (default: `.txt`): + The extension of the source files. + + * `tag_prefix` (default: `tag`): + The prefix of the generated tag listing index pages. It is relative to the + output directory. + + * `template_dir` (default: `templates`): + The directory that stores the template files. This directory is relative + to `blogcfile`. + +### Posts listing + +The `[posts]` section is a listing of the posts that will be included in the +website. They should be listed without the post prefix and without the extension, +only the "slugs" should be used. For example, with default settings, if the source +of the post is `content/post/foo.txt`, the line added to the `[posts]` section +is `foo`. + +All the posts are relative to the `post_prefix` in the root of the website. + +### Pages listing + +The `[pages]` section is a listing of the pages that will be included in the +website. They should be listed without the page prefix and without the extension, +only the "slugs" should be used. For example, with default settings, if the source +of the page is `content/foo.txt`, the line added to the `[pages]` section is `foo`. + +All the pages are relative to the root of the website. + +### Tags listing + +The `[tags]` section is a listing of the tags that should be listed in the +website. blogc-make(1) will generate post listing indexes and Atom feeds for +each tag listed in the section. + +### Copy listing + +The `[copy]` section is a listing of the files that should be copied to the +output directory. + +All the files are relative to the `blogcfile`, and their directory structure +will be built inside the output directory. + +## EXAMPLE + + [global] + AUTHOR_NAME = Author + AUTHOR_EMAIL = author@example.org + SITE_TITLE = Site Title + SITE_TAGLINE = Site Tagline + BASE_DOMAIN = http://example.org + + [settings] + locale = en_US.utf8 + + [posts] + post1 + post2 + + [pages] + about + + [tags] + tag1 + tag2 + + [copy] + assets/custom.css + +## BUGS + +Please report any issues to: + +## AUTHOR + +Rafael G.
