Building informational webs with PyStyler | |
You must designate a specific directory as your starting directory.
This must be your current working directory when PyStyler is run.
You must create certain specific files in this directory that PyStyler needs for its operation.
The pages of your web can be stored in the starting directory, or they can be distributed to any number of directories, but PyStyler requires that all the files associated with your web live either in the starting directory or somewhere below it in the directory tree.
If your web is fairly small, you can keep all the files in the starting directory. As your web grows, you can migrate files to, or create them in, subdirectories of the starting directory, and subdirectories of those subdirectories and so on.
There are two special files that control the operation of PyStyler. You must create these files in the starting directory:
The plan.xml file describes the outline structure of your web. This may
not be the same as your directory structure. It may
also contain alias entries
that relate “topic names” to actual
directory paths.
The template.xml file describes
the standard page layout that will be enforced on all
the pages of your web, including the standard
navigational features.
