In order to have a website based only on Asciidoctor documents, I have written a small utility which converts a set of Asciidoctor documents to HTML pages and generates a RSS 2.0 feed.
Installation of asciidoctor_to_rss
It is required to install:
-
maven
-
java (>1.7)
The sources can be retrieved from GIT:
git clone git clone https://git.wpitchoune.net/asciidoctor_to_rss.git
Compilation:
cd asciidoctor_to_rss mvn clean install
Howto write news
Each news has to be written in a separate Asciidoctor document and all documents must be dropped into a directory.
There is not any restriction concerning the syntax because the utility is based on the java bridge of Asciidoctor. I have added an attribute 'date' which allows the utility to know the publication date of the news.
You can see some examples at https://wpitchoune.net/gitweb/?p=www.git;a=tree;f=src/news;hb=HEAD . The source document of this news is at https://wpitchoune.net/gitweb/?p=www.git;a=blob;f=src/news/asciidoctor_to_rss.adoc;hb=HEAD
Configuration
The configuration of the utility can be done in text file.
Run the utility
The command line usage is:
asciidoctor_to_rss.sh <IN_DIR> <OUT_DIR> <CFG_FILE>
