The buildwebpage script builds a static webpage by inserting a number of subpages into a template.

Features:

• Specification of a title for a subpage which can be referenced by the template
• Assignment of an menu item to a subpage so it can be formatted distinctively
• Markdown support for subpages

• Python >=3.2
• Markdown

By default the programme looks into the source folder, identifies the template by its file name and attempts to insert all remaining files in the folder into the template.

The whole content of a given subpage will be inserted into the template in place of a <!-- content --> comment. The content itself can be written in html or in markdown. For markdown conversion, add a <!-- markdown --> comment to the subpage.

It is also possible to assign a title to a subpage. A subpage may contain a comment <!-- title: SOME TITLE TEXT --> which will be inserted in place of a <!-- title --> comment in the template.

If the template contains a comment `', the comment will be replaced with the date the subpage file was last modified.

Additionally one can mark a specific tag in the template to be the menu item associated with a subpage by refering to its id using the <!-- menu: TAG ID --> comment. Any tag that contains the attribute id='TAG ID' will be added a class='menu-current' which can then be formatted using css.
