ZenWeb is supposed to be rather easy to use. This documentation site is intended to be a demonstration that it is easy. If this takes me more than 10 minutes to do (including typing these pages), then I have failed my job.

How to make a site from scratch:

• Run the following commands:
  • ZenWebsite.rb mysite
  • cd mysite
  • ZenWebpage.rb data/second
  • Edit data/SiteMap and put “/second.html” where you’d like it
  • make
• Edit as you see fit.
• See the Text-To-HTML page for markup hints and tips.

How to add a page to your site:

• Modify mysite/SiteMap and add the url to the page, including .html, excluding the domain of the url (ex: “/blah.html”).
• Run the following commands:
  • ZenWebpage.rb data/blah.html
  • make

How to convert an old site:

• Do the same as the new site instructions, except:
  • For each file, remove your HTML header and footer code.
