Gridlocdev's custom Static Site Generator

A simple and barebones Static Site Generator based on .NET and Markdig. This generator builds HTML from markdown with sanitization, and applies a presentation template with some styling and navigation controls.

This repo contains both the generator itself as well as the generated ./wwwroot folder of my particular site hosted on Azure Static Web Apps.

How the site's Markdown files are structured

Each folder contains a home page, which contains a short description and a set of links to other pages in the folder.

Here's an example of what the folder structure could look like:

├── Index.md
├── Folder1
│   ├── Index.md
│   ├── ~.md
│   └── ~.md
├── Folder2
│   ├── Index.md
│   └── ~.md

Config Layout

Here is a brief description of what the keys in the app.config configuration file are used for in the site generation script:

Key Description
InputFolder Where to find the Markdown files used as input
OutputFolder Where to put resulting static HTML files
DefaultDocumentName In the folder structure for the Markdown files, this is the name of the home file for each folder section
