Features
--------

[](#features)

- [Texy!](https://texy.info/) support
- [Latte templates](https://latte.nette.org/) support

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$ cd examples/basic
$ php -f ../../webgen.php -- --run
$ cd output
$ ls
articles  index.html

```

---

***Note:*** *Webgen ignores files with `@` on start of filename.*

Templating
----------

[](#templating)

**Texy in Latte template**

```
{block |texy}
This is **Texy** snippet.
{/block}

{texy}
This is "Texy":https://texy.info snippet too.
{/texy}
```

**Get name of current generated file**

```
{$webgen->currentFile} {* prints for example: 'articles/article-2.texy' *}
```

**Get relative path from `currentFile` to a file**

```
{$webgen->createRelativeLink('articles/article-1.html')}
{* prints:
'article-1.html'          for currentFile = 'articles/article-2.texy'
'articles/article-1.html' for currentFile = 'index.texy'
*}
```

Shortcuts (output for `currentFile = 'articles/article-2.texy'`)

```
{link articles/article-1.html} {* prints article-1.html *}

Article #1
{* prints *}
Article #1

{* prints *}

{* prints *}

{* prints (image file must exist) *}

```

Relative paths in Texy:

```
"Article #1":@articles/article-1.html

[* @images/photo.jpg *]

```

**Highlight current page in menu** *(is link current?)*

```

    Homepage
    About us
    Contact

```

In mask `**` means *everything*, `*` means *everything **except** `/`*.

**Variables in Texy document**

```
{{$var}}

{{$var = value}}

{{$var: value}}

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configuration is stored in file named [`config.neon`](examples/basic/config.neon). [NEON](https://ne-on.org/) is format very similar to YAML, see .

```
input:
	dir:

output:
	dir:

```

**Change name of layout template**

```
input:
	layout: @my-layout-name.latte

```

**Copy files from source directory into output directory (CSS & JS files, images,...)**

Boolean value (`yes`/`no`) or filemask(s):

```
input:
    copy: yes

```

```
input:
    copy:
        - *.js
        - *.css

```

**Change default output file extension**

```
output:
    ext: php

```

File-specific change:

```
{webgen ext => php}   ## in Latte template
{{webgen: ext: php}}  ## in Texy file
```

**Change output filename**

```
## changes output file extension
{webgen ext => php}
