Introduction ############ Bade is a small command line utility to allow the user to maintain a simple HTML website and weblog using only plaintext rST for their content. It also bundles an rST directive (see :ref:`dotgraph`) for rendering DOT graphs as SVG. It's very similar in spirit to some other things. It's like Pelican_ but it's a lot simpler and uses Mako_ instead of Jinja2_. It's also like Tinkerer_ but without the dependency on Sphinx_. Bade is opinionated and simplistic, I wrote it mostly my own usage, so you probably shouldn't use it. .. _Pelican: http://docs.getpelican.com/ .. _Mako: http://www.makotemplates.org/ .. _Jinja2: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/ .. _Tinkerer: http://tinkerer.me/ .. _Sphinx: http://sphinx-doc.org/ Plans to extend =============== In writing Bade, I came up with a few things more I'd like to do: - **Test suite**: Everything should be tested, right? - **Git integration**: For dirty checking on build, maybe stamping a rendered file with its latest commit hash. There are `a few`_ GitHub `issues`_ for it. - **Hooks**: Let people hook in at interesting points, ie. call ``grunt`` pre-build, commit after build, etc. .. _`a few`: https://github.com/bmcorser/bade/issues/5 .. _`issues`: https://github.com/bmcorser/bade/issues/4
