 I've been working on building my understanding of text-handling in low-level languages like C and C++, so I thought building a small static site generator would be a good test of what I've learned. My goals for the project are:
 1. Easily extendable. Do exactly what I want, quickly.
 1. Markdown-like language to write pages/articles in.

 ##parse Parsing Markdown
 I started by making a compiler for a simple markdown language. There is a specification called CommonMark that I *think* is the canonical version of Markdown, with a reference implementation @(https://github.com/commonmark/cmark cmark), clocking in at ~20,000 LOC. I read through their spec, and while it gave me some ideas, some of it seems like a bit much unless you're expecting to face highly adversarial inputs (like the @(https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#emphasis-and-strong-emphasis 17 rules) for parsing bold/italic combos). I decided to keep some of the basic syntax of Markdown but not worry about following the spec too closely, making extensions and changes as desired.

-The Text parsing is similar to the Block parsing, except each character is checked, and most nodes come in start/end pairs. Because I want to support composing formatting like `***bold-and-italic* just-bold**` generating ***bold-and-italic* just-bold**, its not enough to just have `BOLD` node encapsulate the bolded text in a pair of tags. For this reason each text node has an `end` flag marking it as the start or end node of a pair:

-And that's pretty much it for a heavily-idealized version of my static site generator! The actual thing can be found @(https://github.com/dev-dwarf/dev-dwarf.github.io on GitHub). You may have noticed an unused type field for pages; the real version of the generator has `ARTICLE` pages and an `INDEX` page. `ARTICLE`s have slightly different HTML generated, and the `INDEX` gets a list of links to articles appended to it. I don't think its worth writing about these yet as they are very hacked in and I want to change that system soon! However I am pleased with how easy it is to quickly hack in features like those given what I have described here as a base.

 ##conc Conclusion
 Overall I'm pretty happy with the results of this project so far. The up-front time investment was a bit more than using Jekyll (about 4-days of hacking and writing), but for it I have a small, fast, and extendable static site generator tailored to my needs. The current version is ~700 LOC, well under the 1000 LOC goal. I already hacked in some basic features to write this article, but I'd like to rework these soon. In addition, there's quite a few things I'd like to add:
 1. Generate an index/section list for articles.
 1. Generate an RSS feed from recent articles.
 1. After the first compile of each page, run in the background checking for changes and compile files automatically. Right now I manually run `site.exe` to see my changes each time, but it would help my flow if that was taken care of for me.
 1. Introduce some sort of templating/custom generation for individual pages. I **abhor** how most generators handle this sort of feature so I'm excited to look for a unique approach. I'd prefer something where I can easily hack in new templates in C++ instead of using some bogus templating language.
-1. Additional miscellanous features like captions for images, subsections, and asides/expandable text. 
+1. Additional miscellaneous features like captions for images, subsections, and asides/expandable text. 
 I should also mention that although the source code for the markdown compiler and my site are on github, they can't be run as is without lcf, my @(http://nothings.org/stb.h stb)-esque standard library. I've only fairly recently started my library and I tend to make tweaks and additions almost everytime I work on a project right now, so I don't feel comfortable having it out there as a public repo. If you really want a copy so you can compile my site yourself @(/contact.html send me a message).
