# Static Site Generator - C Preprocessor Syntax
I made this as a quick solution to my unique problem. Although my problem could be solved easily using existing frameworks, but I wanted extremely fast solution requring no setup. So i made a C-macros syntax static site generator.
I usaully make games on [game idea](https://gameidea.org), you can find my work there. Thank you for coming here!
# Usage Examples
In a.html:
```html
#define header(title, subtitle) (
{title}
{subtitle}
)
```
In b.html:
```html
#include <./a.html>
header(My Hehe Title, My Good Subtitle)
#define card(image, title, text) (
{title}
{text}
)
```
After that, run `static_site_generator_machine.py` file. It will create a `build/` folder with a generated website. The other file, `static_site_generator.py` is a layer on top of previous file, that automates the process of re-building as soon as changes have been made to the file. So if u need automated solution, just run the latter file and everything will be auto-generated on save, from the current directory.
# Issues
1. File paths are not resolved in generated site. So you have to put all your assets in `assets/` folder, otherwise issues may arise if during building, the contents of components are copied to other files present in another levels in system directory. Then references such as `./myimage.png` might introduce invalid path as now, the current directory is the directory of another component where this component is `#included`.
2. I have not tested `#ifdef`, `#ifndef`, `#else`, `#endif`, `#undef` etc.
# Other Examples
We declare a component using `#define` like this:
In the above code, the parameters values will be replaced with passed value.
Then we use it like this:
There is more we can do. Basically, most of C proprocessor is implemented, but there can be some issues in conditinoal thing such as `#ifndef`.
