The first day of OSD600, the class was asked to create a Static Site Generator (SSG) as the first assignment of the course. We were given the freedom to choose what language the assignment was done in. I decided to name my project "my-button-ssg", as it was a simple name that represents me. I then chose my language of choice which happens to be in JavaScript.
my-button-ssg
my-button-ssg is a program that generates HTML files based on user command-line input. For example, we have 5 .txt files provided by our professor David Humphrey. These are chapters reading from the book "Sherlock-Holmes". With a simple command, my-button-ssg could convert all of these .txt files into HTML files.
Features
- I make my code takes the first line of the .txt file which generally was as the title and put then to the
<title> </title>and add it into<h1> </h1>to the top of the<body>. - used my own
<footer></footer>.
