MakeIndex is a simple content management system that generates static content, (mostly index.html,) on all the directories rooted at the directory specified by the argument. It is based on a template file, ".index.html" and ".newsfeed.rss". Also included are files to summarise the directory structure for a xml site map, compatible with Google, and any .news for an rss feed. It takes one argument, <directory>, which is the root of the recursion.

There should be an <example> directory that has a bunch of files in it. Run bin/MakeIndex example/; it should make a webpage out of the directory structure and .index.html, open example/index.html after running to see.

• If the .index.html file exists in the <directory>, prints <index.html> recursively; overwrites any index.html on all the directories rooted at <directory>;
• if the .sitemap.xml file exists in <directory>, prints (and overwrites) an index called sitemap.xml;
• if the .newsfeed.rss file exists in <directory>, prints (and overwrites) to newsfeed.rss all the .news files (if there are any.)

• Treats .d as a description of the file without the .d; if this is an empty text-file or a zero-byte file, it skips over this file.
• treats index.d as a description of the directory;
• treats content.d as an in-depth description of the directory, replacing <index.d> when in the directory;
• treats .d.jpg as a image that will go with the description;
• treats .news as a newsworthy item; the format of this file is ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD,) next line title;
• treats .link as a link with the href in the file.

.index.html, .sitemap.xml, .newsfeed.rss, see Parser for recognised symbols. Assumes '..' is the parent directory, '.' is the current directory, and '/' is the directory separator; works for UNIX, MacOS, Windows. If this is not the case, the constants are in Files.c.

fixme

Don't have <directory> be an argument; just do it in the current.

fixme

Have a subset of LaTeX converted into html for the .d files?

fixme

Encoding is an issue; especially the newsfeed, 7bit.

fixme

It's not robust; eg @(files)@(files){Don't do this.}.
