RSS is a way to keep the readers of your WebSite informed on new and changed pages.

channel.image=An image that you want to put on the RSS page
channel.title=The title of the RSS

home.dir=The local home directory
home.url=The URL of the WebSite

  --charsetuit  The characterset of the output if it is different from UTF-8.
  --inhoud      A properties file with the parameters and pages that must be
                present in the RSS feed.

top Generate the Website

Description

The maintenance of a website takes a lot of time. It is not only the writing but also the loading on the internet. Apart from that HTML misses in my opinion something important: An <include> tag. You can to simulate it with a <FRAME> but this is not appreciated by many.

This is why I decided to create this tool that can do the following things:

  • Replace the 'dummy' <include> tag by the file that is put between the open and closing tag;
  • Make a sitemap.xml file that includes all HTML files;

Usage

On your PC you need 3 directories:

  • sourcePages - This directory contains the HTML pagina's met de <include> tags.
  • sourceIncludes - This directory contains the files that are used in the <include> tags.
  • localSite - This directory contains all non-HTML pages and HTML pages without the <include> tags. This directory is synchronised with the internet.

This tool processes the sourcePages directory and puts the result, with 'help' of the files from thesourceIncludes directory, in the localSite directory.

Beware that in the sourcePages and sourceIncludes directories only contain text files. A JPEG file will be copied as if it is a text file and is not displayed as JPEG any more on the website.
