#!/usr/bin/python3 """ =========================================================================================== genhtml.py - static HTLM inserts Author and copyright: M. Lutz, 2015 License: Provided freely but with no warranties of any kind VERSION 2, November 16, 2015: smarter dependency checking Don't regenerate an HTML file for a changed insert file, unless the HTML's template actually USES the insert file. Also refactor as functions - at ~250 lines, top-level script code becomes too scattered to read (at ~1K lines, class structure is required). SYNOPSIS Simple static HTML inserts script: given an HTML templates dir and an HTML inserts dir, generate final HTML files by applying text replacements, where replacement keys and text are derived from names and content of insert files. For static insert content, this script is an alternative to: - Mass file edits on every common item change (which can be painfully tedious). - Client-side includes via embedded JavaScript (which not all visitors may run). - Server-side includes via PHP (which makes pages unviewable without a server). This script does add a local admin step on every HTML content change, but there is no true HTML include; <object> is close, but is not supported on (some?) IE. DEPENDENCY CHANGE DETECTION This script acts like a makefile; it automatically regenerates an HTML file if: (a) The HTML template file has been changed since its last generation, or (b) Any inserts-dir file that the HTML template file uses has been changed since the HTML file's last generation. In other words, the script generates expanded HTML files for all HTML templates that have no expansion yet, are newer than their expanded versions, or use any insert file that is newer than their expanded versions. Conversely, an HTML file is not regenerated if neither the html template nor any used insert is newer than the expansion target. The FORCEREGEN switch ignores dependencies. COMMAND-LINE USAGE % gensite.py (or click) => copy all changed non-html source files to target (if any) => regen all html files whose template or inserts have changed since last gen % gensite.py [file.htm]+ => same, but apply to just one or more specific files in source dir USAGE PATTERNS 1) Change html-template files in SOURCEDIR (only!), and/or insert-text files in INSERTSDIR. 2) Run this script to regenerate all changed html files in TARGETDIR as needed. 3) Upload newly-generated files (or all) from the TARGETDIR to your web server. There are two ways to structure your site's files: 1) Keep both HTML templates and all other site files in SOURCEDIR. In this mode, non-HTML changed files are copied to TARGETDIR when HTML files are regenerated. 2) Use SOURCEDIR for HTML template files only, keep other web site files in TARGETDIR. This mode avoids copying other non-HTML files to TARGETDIR on HTML regenerations. Either way, TARGETDIR is always a full mirror image of your web site, for uploads. TEXT REPLACEMENTS - Replacement keys are all the 'XXX' in 'INSERTDIR/XXX.txt' filenames. - Replacement values are the contents of the 'INSERTDIR/XXX.txt' files. - Algorithm: For each changed .htm and .html HTML file in SOURCEDIR: For each 'XXX' in INSERTDIR/XXX.txt: Replace _all_ '$XXX$' in HTML file with the content of file XXX.txt Save result in TARGETDIR Other non-HTML file types (if any) are copied to TARGETDIR unchanged. To automate changing DATES in both HTML files and insert files, the script also replaces special '$_DATE*$' keys: e.g., '$_DATELONG$' => 'November 6, 2015'. To accommodate NESTED INSERTS, the script also replaces any '$XXX$' keys in loaded insert-files text first, before regenerating any HTML files. This allows insert files to be built from other insert files, before being applied to HTML templates. For an example use case, see FOOTER-COMMON.txt and its clients in the Html-inserts folder; it's inserted into other footer include files with varying footer parts. Note and caveat: this step is only 1-level deep per file (it's not recursive!). Example replacements (each with possible nested inserts): Coded in <HEAD> $STYLE$ => INSERTDIR/STYLE.html (a <style> or <link rel...>) $SCRIPT$ => INSERTDIR/SCRIPT.html (analytics or other JS code block) $ICON$ => INSERTDIR/ICON.html (site-specific icon link spec) Coded in <BODY> $FOOTER$ => INSERTDIR/FOOTER.html (a standard sites links toolbar) $HEADER$ => INSERTDIR/HEADER.html (a standard header block) $TOTOC$ => INSERTDIR/TOTOC.html (a standard go-to-index button line) See also "__docs__/template-pattern.html: for a skeleton use case example file, and the "Html-templates" test folder for additional template examples. GENERATION NOTES: - To force a regeneration of all HTML files, open and save any insert file used by every template (if any), or set the FORCEREGEN variable below. - By design, there is no dependency checking for non-file date inserts (else each date key client would be regenerated every day!); open and save date client files to force their regen with updated dates when appropriate. - Caveat: there is no dependency checking for nested inserts (a $XXX$ in an insert file); open and save the nested insert's clients to force HTML regen. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES - Skips replacement targets not present in HTML text (replace is a no-op). - Skips replacement targets having no INSERTDIR file (no replace is run). - Tries multiple Unicode encodings for HTML text: expand set as needed. - Assumes insert files are all in same Unicode encoding: change as needed. - Changed external CSS files must be uploaded, but do not require or trigger HTML regeneration here (unlike changed CSS <link> or inline CSS code inserts). - See "Programming Python, 4th Edition" for automated FTP site upload scripts. TBDs: - Subdirectories are not directly supported, though they can be maintained as separately-generated and uploaded working folders. - Automatic "<!-- -->" comment wrappers could be emitted, but they may be invalid for shorter text inserts that are not one or more full lines. - Dependency checking for nested inserts might be handled by an initial inserts text scan searching for $XXX$ keys, and propagating the modtime of the nested insert's text to the client's. Is this worth the effort? - It might be useful to parametize inserts in some fashion. For instance, between '@' delimiters, allow a script name and arguments defining a command line whose stdout gives the insert text. This is an order of magnitude more complex, though, and not warranted by any use case so far. =========================================================================================== """ import os, sys, shutil, time trace = lambda *args: None # set to print to see more output # user settings INSERTDIR = 'Html-inserts' # insert text, filename gives key: XXX.txt.
