README
# `imml`
`imml` (indented markdown markup language) is a markup language and static site generator whose purpose is to create minimalist, blazing fast no-javascript websites from a single, portable plain text file.
The project was born from the desire to have a process to build a personal website which doesn't get more complicated than editing a single text file and calling it a day. Could be the perfect choice for your blog, public brain dump, recipe list, no-fuss portfolio, low-fi zine, or anything you can think of.
### features
- your whole website is a single, portable, offline, private plain text file
- blazing fast to load and build
- no javascript
- it's a [better motherfucking website](http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/)
- makes you understand that _perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away_
### using `imml`
Visit https://leoncvlt.github.io/imml/ for a web-based `imml` editor. Write in the editor on the left side and it will be parsed in real-time into the results shown on the right. The web-based editor saves to localstorage, so feel free to come back to it later on - or you can manually save and load a file by using the toolbar buttons on the top left. The export button exports your site as a single .html file.
Alternatively, write a file locally on your machine and then, with node.js installed, run `npx imml ` to generate a minified html file. Run `npx imml --help` or [click here](#cli) to find out more about the command line tool.
### writing guide
Wrap text between `[square brackets]` to create a page and a link to it, then indent and write markdown to create the content for that page. The first page in the imml document is your home. Nest pages to create a site structure. For more advanced usage, check the [detailed writing guide](https://github.com/leoncvlt/imml/wiki/Writing-Guide) in the wiki.
### using as a library
```js
import { parse, render } from "imml";
// import the default style, or make your own
import "imml/lib/style.css";
const text = `
[home]
Hello World!
[foo]
bar
`
const data = parse(text);
render(data, window.document);
```
