A light dynamic blog server powered by bottle, sqlite and mistune, written in python.

• Render markdown to HTML
• Build directories automatically
• Easy to post, update, delete articles
• Comment support (and quote)
• All in python (web-framework, database and markdown renender).
• Python3 only!! (which sqlite is buildin)

Depend on the following python modules

• bottle (framework)
• bottle_sqlite (sqlite database plugin)
• mistune (markdown renderer)

These three module files have been copied to project dirctory, so all you need is python3.

1. Prepare your documents
   Organise your markdown file and images in categories, and put them in /docs folder. It should like this:

   |---docs
   |     |---category_1
   |     |      |---passage_1
   |     |      |      |------passage_name.md
   |     |      |      |------image1
   |     |      |      |------image2
   |     |      |      |        .
   |     |      |      |        .
   |     |      |      |        .
   |     |      |
   |     |      |---passage_2
   |     |      |      .
   |     |      |      .
   |     |      |      .
   |     |
   |     |---category_2
   |     |      .
   |     |      .
   |     |      .
   

   category_n will be the category name
   passage_name will be the passage title(underline will be replaced by whitespace)

2. Initialization
   In project directory, run

   python gentool.py init
   

   This will create several table in database, render md file and save the result in database, relink and rename the image, then put them in the /static folder.

3. Run the server

   python server.py
   

To add, delete or modify, just change the categories and files in /docs folder and run one of the following command:

• ./gentool.py update_category
• ./gentool.py update_article
• ./gentool.py update_all

Any of this command will update the database according to the content in /docs folder. But won't delete anything in database that has been deleted in /docs folder. However, you can specify arguement delete to delete them.
