# wget2hugo

This is a program that converts a `wget` backup of a site into Markdown, which

can then be used as content in [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) or a similar static

site generator.

You can create a full backup of a website using

```

wget \

    --mirror \

    --convert-links \

    $URL

```

which is great! but if you don't want to merely store that backup or host an

exact mirror you'll want to convert that backup to a more manageable format.

This program will convert html into Markdown files, and will copy all static

files over as well (PDFs, .doc files, images, etc). The goal is to have output

which can be immediately popped into a Hugo site's `content` directory, built,

and deployed.

It's written in Rust, using [this HTML -> Markdown

crate](https://crates.io/crates/html2md). I wrote a

previous version in node.js using

[turndown](https://github.com/domchristie/turndown), but ran into issues with

memory leaks and performance.

### Running it

Just do

```sh

cargo run --help

```

and it should print usage information.
