<p>In this document we create a simple static web site with two pages.</p>
<p>Estimated completion time: 10 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Table of contents</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#inspiration">01. Inspiration</a></li>
<li><a href="#cfg">02. Investigate <code>cfg</code> file</a></li>

<h2 id="01inspiration">01. Inspiration</h2>
<p>Suppose you are a great Russian painter named Valentin Serov. Everytime anyone wants to know about you they refer to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Serov">Wikipedia</a>. You wake up earlier today with a distinct desire to have your very own personal web site.</p>
<p>You set on to create the following pages:</p>
<ul>
<li>About me</li>
<li>Curriculum vitae (CV)</li>
</ul>
<p>Some time later you have the following files in your <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/site-pskov-sample/tree/master/01.TwoPages">site directory</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>cfg</li>
<li>item.template</li>
<li>about.md</li>
<li>cv.md</li>
</ul>
<p>Let's look at their contents closer.</p>
<p><a name="cfg"/></p>
<h2 id="02investigatecfgfile">02. Investigate <code>cfg</code> file</h2>
<p><code>cfg</code> file has the following contents:</p>
<pre><code>input = .
item = item.template
</code></pre>
<p><code>cfg</code> is an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file">INI file</a> with the following keys specified:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Key</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>input</code></td>
<td>Points to a directory where <code>item</code>'s file is located</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>item</code></td>
<td>Points to an HTML template file that is used to generate HTML files out of Markdown ones</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>In our case, <code>item.template</code> file is located alongside <code>cfg</code>, so we use <code>.</code> to denote current directory.</p>
<p><a name="item"/></p>
<h2 id="03investigateitemtemplatefile">03. Investigate <code>item.template</code> file</h2>
<p><code>item.template</code> file has the following contents:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
    &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
        &lt;style&gt;
            - - - - Collapsed for brevity - - - -
        &lt;/style&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;Serov&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;
    &lt;body&gt;
        &lt;div id="header"&gt;
            &lt;strong&gt;Serov&lt;/strong&gt;
            &lt;a href="about.html"&gt;About me&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;a href="cv.html"&gt;CV&lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;center&gt;
            &lt;h1&gt;PSKOV_ITEM_TITLE&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;div class="contents"&gt;
PSKOV_ITEM_CONTENTS
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div id="footer"&gt;
                This sample web site has been generated by &lt;a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pskov"&gt;PSKOV&lt;/a&gt;.
            &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/center&gt;
    &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: style was collapsed for brevity.</p>
<p>As you can see, <code>item.template</code> is an average HTML file with two <strong>PSKOV</strong> constants specified:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>PSKOV constant</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>PSKOV_ITEM_TITLE</code></td>
<td>Provides title from <code>Title:</code> part of page's header section</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>PSKOV_ITEM_CONTENTS</code></td>
<td>Provides HTML contents generated out of Markdown contents</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<ul>
<li>other <strong>PSKOV</strong> constants are described later</li>
<li>page's header section is described below</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="md"/></p>
<h2 id="04investigateaboutmdandcvmdfiles">04. Investigate <code>about.md</code> and <code>cv.md</code> files</h2>
<p><code>about.md</code> file has the following contents:</p>
<pre><code> Title: About me

<p><code>about.md</code> starts with a so-called header section:</p>

<p>The rest of <code>about.md</code> contents is what any Markdown file looks like.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: <code>cv</code> page is referenced as <code>cv.html</code>, not <code>cv.md</code></p>
<p><code>cv.md</code> file has the following contents:</p>

 Here's my CV in case my paintings still interest you. I took a bit of a modern IT approach to structure my CV as key-value pairs of a dictionary (map), enjoy!

 | Key | Value |
 |---|---|
 | Name | Valentin Serov |
 | Age | 46 |
 | Marital status | Married |
 | Country | Russian Empire |
 | Alma mater | Imperial Academy of Arts |
 | Education | * Member Academy of Arts (1898) &lt;br&gt; * Full Member Academy of Arts (1903) |

<p>As you can see, there's nothing new in <code>cv.md</code> except for a Markdown table.</p>

<h2 id="05launchlfsa">05. Launch LFSA</h2>
<p>Launch <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/lfsa">LFSA</a> so that it points to directory with the files we just observed:</p>
<pre><code>$ /path/to/lfsa-201905.py /path/to/dir/01.TwoPages
</code></pre>
<p>You should see output similar to this:</p>

<li>Go to <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pskov">Tool</a> page</li>
<li>Make sure<ul>
<li><code>Path:</code> points to the same directory you specified before</li>
<li><code>Input directory:</code> and <code>Item template:</code> have values from <code>cfg</code></li></ul></li>
<li>Press <code>Generate</code> button to generate HTML files right where Markdown ones reside</li>
<li>Open generated <code>about.html</code> from the site's directory</li>
<li>You should see your web site running locally</li>
