Adds logic to migrate_qs2_to_qs3.py to convert: - #showimg to Markdown image syntax . - #linkimg to Markdown linked image syntax [](src). - #ytvideo to HTML iframe embed for YouTube videos. Image path processing handles absolute URLs and prepends /images/ for relative paths, aligning with previous qsgen2 behavior but omitting hardcoded styling attributes for Markdown output.
qsgen3 - A Minimal Markdown Static Site Generator
This is a refactored version of qsgen, focusing on simplicity, Markdown with YAML frontmatter, and a Zsh-based build process.
Project Goals
- Remove QSTags and switch to Markdown + YAML frontmatter.
- Simplify codebase by removing multilingual and theme support.
- Refactor templating with uniform variables (e.g.,
{{ content }},{{ title }}). - Ensure future-proofing by avoiding complex dependencies (like AWK for long string manipulation) for core tasks.
- Provide a solid initial setup that works out of the box with a sample post, index, and layout.
- Include a converter script in
scripts/convert-qstags-to-md.shfor legacy content.
Structure
bin/qsgen3: The main Zsh build script.site.conf: Site configuration (INI format).content/: Source Markdown files.content/posts/: Blog posts.content/pages/: Static pages.
layouts/: HTML templates.layouts/base.html: Base template for all pages.layouts/post.html: Template for individual blog posts.layouts/page.html: Template for static pages.
static/: Static assets (CSS, images, etc.) copied as-is to the output.output/: The generated website.scripts/: Utility scripts (e.g., content converter).
Usage
- Configure your site in
site.conf. - Add Markdown content to the
content/directory. - Customize templates in
layouts/. - Run the build script:
./bin/qsgen3 - Your static site will be generated in the
output/directory.
Dependencies
- Zsh
- A Markdown processor (e.g., Pandoc, CommonMark, or a Zsh-native solution if feasible for basic needs).
- Standard Unix utilities (grep, sed, find, etc.).
