Collage

After finding out that friend of mine interested in Lichen couldn't get access to the terminal to install GForth, I decided to make a much more simple solution to website building that is pretty extensible. I call it collage because it just slaps a header and footer around a file and it's done.

I saw someone on merveilles do this a couple years ago and thought it was just so simple, it was perfect. So I thought a codified version would be great for my friend, as they could just build their pages and slap them up to their site via FTP.

After building it and seeing it work, I thought that it might be great to make a version that works with both gemtext and HTML. I already had made a gemtext to HTML script ages ago with awk, so it was actually incredibly simple to patch it in (took me about 5 minutes, all in all). It took a minute to squelch out some small bugs, but otherwise worked great, and now it's on the main branch.

I always appreciate a good puzzle, a simple project, and an extensible tool.
