# Make Site
# author: Jonathan Bernard <jonathan@jdbernard.com>
#
# Stupid-simple static site generator. Operates on the current working
# directory. Outputs rendered HTML to a directory named 'rendered'.
#
# 1. Reads in an HTML template from a file 'template.html'.
# 3. Walks the 'content' directory looking for files.
#
# a. For all files with the '.md' extension:
# i. splits out optional front-matter (JSON),
# ii. compiles the rest into HTML fragments,
# iii. stuffs the fragments into the template, and
# iv. writes an HTML file at the same relative path in the 'rendered'
# directory with the same filename (extension changed to .html).
#
# b. For all other files, copies them verbatim into the same relative path
# in the 'rendered' directory.
