Website Look And Feel Generator

Pro

• It requires only sh/sed posix shell tools to build doc pages.
• It can build a common navigation bar and a sitemap for all webpages.
• The program is a single short script file freely copyable & modifiable.

Con

• All embedded meta-information must fit on a single line each.
• There is only little more functionality than variable substititions.
• The doc processing is slow - and even slower without gnu sed.

Neutral

• A sitefile must be written - the sitemap is not truly autodetected.
• The speedier twin perl script provides the exact same functionality.
• Best for small webpages but gets too slow for hundreds of webpages.
• The fancy results stem from the sitefile logic - see our examples .

Plus

• Automatic "printerstyle" page generation helping text-mode browsers.
• That style helps also for web accessibility of challenged people.
• Ships with fancy tabbed style navigation as shown on these webpages.
• Shortpage special style to print source code on full screen width.
• It can adapt hrefs to navigate web content pages in subdirectories.
