Make Files
Gary E. Learned
about it a few times, and it seems like it would make sense as far as
building common pages and code includes.
Just a thought,

Yes, i'm using make for creating my site.
I write all my code by hand with an normal html-editor,
in this html-code i also use a preprocessor, so that i can use
e.g. includes, macros, conditions, etc. and then all the site is
maintained with gnumake.
This way i'm sure, that only the really new pages are made.
If u wanna know more, just contact me.
Many greetinx from germany

Yep. I use makefiles that define
make all run HTML preprocessor to create documents
make valid validate documents (depends on `make all`)
make install install documents (depends on `make validate`)
It works great.

Yeah, I'm using make and the C pre-processor (!!) for my pages,
although I admit that I'm not really doing a whole lot.
The C preprocessor lets me #include other files, which I use to
provide navigation links at the bottom of each page.
Here's my somewhat icky makefile:
______________________________________________________________________
SHELL = /bin/sh
DEST = $(shell echo *.web | sed -e 's@\.web@\.html@g')
DEPENDENCIES = $(shell echo *.web.h)
all: $(DEST)
%.html: %.web $(DEPENDENCIES)
D=`/usr/5bin/date +"%a %d %h 19%y"`; sed -e "s/'/\&apostrophe;/g" -e "s.//.\&slashslash;.g" $< >/tmp/amitp.webpage; gcc -x c -I . -C -E -P -undef /tmp/amitp.webpage | sed -e "s.&slashslash;.//.g" -e "s/&apostrophe;/'/g" -e "s/&date;/$$D/g" >$@; #rm /tmp/amitp.webpage
chmod a+r $@
simblob_size.dat: simblob.zip
/bin/csh -f ./calc_simblob_size.sh
games.html: games.web $(DEPENDENCIES) simblob_size.dat
interesting.web: interesting.txt
python interesting.py
______________________________________________________________________
Some comments:
DEST figures out what the source files are (*.web) and then changes
their extensions to *.html. Then the 'all' rule says that I want to
make all the html files.
To make a .html file from a .web file, I do some icky stuff:
a. Change apostrophes into &apostrophe; because the
C preprocessor doesn't like them. (It thinks they
are 'c'haracter literals, and wants them in pairs.)
b. Change // (common in URLs!) into &slashslash; because
the C preprocessor treats them as C++ comments, and
removes them. Oops!
c. Run the C preprocessor.
d. Change &slashslash; and &apostrophe; back.
e. Change &date; into the current date & time.
The other rules are specific to my pages. Whenever the downloadable
file (simblob.zip) changes, I want to recompute the size and produce
html to report the size in games.html. games.web will #include
simblob_size.dat. Also, interesting.web is itself generated by
interesting.py, which reads interesting.txt (a text file full of
links).
My pages are at http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/
and the *.web files are readable. Feel free to steal parts of my
Makefile for your own use.
