# Oblique

[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/nikolas/oblique/master.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/nikolas/oblique)

## ¿   ?

An indirect static site generator: it compiles your entries from an

`index.html` file into a full site. By using HTML as the authoring medium,

Oblique removes the markup layer of abstraction, while retaining the

organizational convenience of static site templates. This approach could

be thought of as "static site assembly".

When you make a site with Oblique, the build step is optional. You

can author the content in HTML and have a site that will render just

fine in the web browser. Then, you can use Oblique on whatever

aggregate files you want to create the archived, "detail" pages for

each entry in the aggregate.

For example:

    Notes from another time

    


         


             

               Today I learned something weird

             

         

         April 18, 2027

         


         


            Well, I never thought I would learn that, but I did.

         

         

    


    


         


             

               A note from the roaring 20s

             

         

         February 12, 2027

         


         


            Dear diary, I'd like to tell you everything, but

            I can't say it all at once.

         

         

    


```

    $ python3 oblique/oblique.py index.html

Given this index page, Oblique's simple job is to archive

the posts into `/-/today-i-learned-something-weird.html` and

`/-/a-note-from-the-roaring-20s.html`.
