blogcfile(5) -- blogc-make's configuration file
===============================================
## DESCRIPTION
**blogcfile** is the configuration file for blogc-make(1), that is a simple
build tool for blogc(1). 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. If negative, all the posts are
included. If `0`, no Atom feeds are generated.
* `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.
* `atom_template` (default: internal template)
The template file that should be used when building Atom feeds. This file
is relative to `template_dir`. If not provided, an internal default template
will be used instead. The internal template can be dumped using the `atom_dump`
blogc-make(1) rule.
* `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.
* `listing_entry` (default: unset):
The page that will be included in the listing pages of the website, without
the page prefix and without the extension, only the "slug" should be used.
See blogc(1) and the description of `listing_entry` block in blogc-template(7)
for details.
* `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_autoload` (default: `false`):
If true, blogc-make(1) will guess the source files from the posts directory
(`content_dir`/`post_prefix`) and ignore anything listed in `[posts]` section.
This setting automatically enable `posts_sort`, as there's no manually-provided
order of posts to follow.
* `posts_per_page` (default: `10`):
Number of posts per page in the pagination pages. If negative, all the posts
are included. If `0`, no post listing pages are generated. Also, if negative or
`0`, the `pagination` build rule is disabled.
* `posts_sort` (default: `false`):
If true, blogc(1) will sort the posts by date, despite the order of the posts
in the `[posts]` section. It is compatible with `html_order` and `atom_order`
settings.
* `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.
This section can be omitted if using the `posts_autoload` setting, as it will
guess the posts from the directory.
### 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.
The tags will be also provided to blogc as a `MAKE_TAGS` variable, that is a
space-separated list of the tags, useful to generate tag clouds using the
`foreach` template iterator. See blogc-template(7).
### 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.
