# calathea v0.1
calathea is a small C program used to generate static wikis. It takes a
2023-01-17 01:20:25 +00:00
directory of Common Markdown pages with `[[wikilinks]]` and renders them to
2023-01-17 01:13:12 +00:00
HTML. The output is a flat directory of HTML pages where the wikilinks are
converted to relative links.
This is also my first full, complete project written entirely in C, which has
proved to be a serious trial by fire in learning how to effectively work with
zero-terminated strings. There will likely be memoryleaks and comments that
over explain every line of code.
## Features
2023-01-20 23:43:53 +00:00
- Rendering wikilinks
- Ability to keep track of incoming links
- Named wikilinks (i.e. `[[link title|actual page]]`)

## installation
This tool requires [cmark](https://github.com/commonmark/cmark) to be
installed. Once that's set up, clone the repository and run:
```
$ make
```
If GCC complains it can't find cmark, then try running `ldconfig`. If it
still doesn't work, then run `echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. If it doesn't show
anything, you've got to add the right directory to the path, i.e.,
```
$ export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib64
```
Or wherever it got installed as per the output of running `make install` for
cmark.
