THEME(1)

NAME
theme - create a web page from a template file

SYNOPSIS
theme [-C option-flags] [-c options] [-d root] [-E] [-f] [-o file] [-p pagename] [-t template] [-V] [textfile]

DESCRIPTION
The theme utility takes a markdown(7)-formatted textfile (or stdin if not specified,) compiles it, and combines it with a template ( page.theme by default) to produce a web page. If a path to the template is not specified, theme looks for page.theme in the current directory, then each parent directory up to the document root ( set with -d or, if unset, the root directory of the system.) If page.theme is found, theme copies it to the output, looking for <?theme action?> html tags and processing the embedded action as appropriate.

theme processes the following actions:

author
    Prints the author name(s) from the mkd_doc_author(3) function.

body
    Prints the formatted markdown(7) input file.

date
    Prints the date returned by mkd_doc_date(3) or, if none, the date the input file was last modified.

dir Prints the directory part of the pagename

include(file)
    Prints the contents of file. Markdown(7) translation will NOT be done on this file.

source
    The filename part of the pagename.

style
    Print any stylesheets (see mkd-extensions(7)) found in the input file.

title
    Print the title returned by mkd_doc_title(3), or, if that does not exist, the source filename.

version
    Print the version of discount(7) that this copy of theme was compiled with.

If input is coming from a file and the output was not set with the -o option, writes the output to file-sans-text.html (if) file has a .text suffix, that will be stripped off and replaced with .html; otherwise a .html will be appended to the end of the filename.)

The options are as follows:

-d root
    Set the document root to root

-E  Normally theme will not expand <?theme body?> or <?theme toc?> in the <head> section, or <?theme style?> in the <body> section, but the -E option overrides this and allows expansions everywhere.

-f  Forcibly overwrite existing html files.

-o filename
    Write the output to filename.

-p path
    Set the pagename to path.

-t filename
    Use filename as the template file.

RETURN VALUES
The theme utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
