# mkht.php
mkht.php is a PHP script for building HTML/CSS sites from source documents in PHP, Gemtext, Pandoc Markdown, Gettext translation files, HTML and CSS.
For my personal use cases, this project include some specific tweaks that may not be fully or correctly documented.
## Usage
Place your pages tree in `/*.md`.
`mkht.php [-f] [site_path] [destination]`
`-f` forces generation of every file, erasing already generated files.
If `site_path` is not set, it will default to current directory.
`destination` is optional and can be:
* `onion` if you want links ending with .onion when available (function `clearnetOrOnion`)
## Input
Source pages must end in `.md` and can use Gemtext, Markdown, HTML and PHP.
The following optional files have special meaning:
`/config.ini`
: some default settings can be changed by this file
`/style.css`
: additional CSS
`/head.inc.html`
: added just before `</head>`
`/header.inc.php`
: added just after `<body>`
`/end.inc.html`
: added just before `</body>`
`/po4a.cfg`
: [po4a](https://po4a.org/) configuration file
Files starting with a dot (except for `.htaccess` and `.well-known`) are ignored.
Files containing `draft` in their name (separated from other characters by `.`) are ignored.
Security note: any PHP code in input files is executed with the same permissions as `mkht.php`
## Output
* `/target/*.md`
* `/target/*.html`
* `/target/*.html.gz`
Note that format translation is only done in the following order:
Gemini > Markdown > HTML, which means that the last of these formats you will use will be the first that will be readable by hypertext browsers. (PHP is always executed first.)
## Metadata persistence
IDs are attributed to titles according to their content, therefore modifying a title breaks links to page sections.
### For atom feeds
* Make sure modification timestamps of source files are preserved. For example, `cp --preserve=timestamps` must be used instead of just `cp` when backing up or migrating.
* Renaming/moving a page creates a new page and delete the older.
## Dependencies
* PHP
* gzip
* pandoc for Markdown → HTML
* [po4a](https://po4a.org/) for Gettext translation
