It +complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft +license designed for free software. + +We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free +software, because free software needs free documentation: a free +program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the +software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; +it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or +whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License +principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. + +@item +APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + +This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that +contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be +distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a +world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that +work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below, +refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a +licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you +copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission +under copyright law. + +A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the +Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with +modifications and/or translated into another language. + +A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section +of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the +publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall +subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall +directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in +part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain +any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical +connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, +commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding +them. + +The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles +are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice +that says that the Document is released under this License. If a +section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not +allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero +Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant +Sections then there are none. + +The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed, +as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that +the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may +be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. + +A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, +represented in a format whose specification is available to the +general public, that is suitable for revising the document +straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of +pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available +drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or +for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input +to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file +format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart +or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. +An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount +of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''. + +Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain +ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input +format, SGML or XML using a publicly available +DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, +PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples +of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and +JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be +read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or +XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are +not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, +PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for +output purposes only. + +The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself, +plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material +this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in +formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means +the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, +preceding the beginning of the body of the text. + +The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies +of the Document to the public. + +A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose +title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following +text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a +specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'', +``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title'' +of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a +section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition. + +The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which +states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty +Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this +License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other +implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has +no effect on the meaning of this License. + +@item +VERBATIM COPYING + +You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either +commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the +copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies +to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other +conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use +technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further +copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept +compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough +number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. + +You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and +you may publicly display copies. + +@item +COPYING IN QUANTITY + +If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have +printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the +Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the +copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover +Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on +the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify +you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present +the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and +visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. +Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve +the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated +as verbatim copying in other respects. + +If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit +legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit +reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent +pages. + +If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering +more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent +copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy +a computer-network location from which the general network-using +public has access to download using public-standard network protocols +a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. +If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, +when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure +that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated +location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an +Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that +edition to the public. + +It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the +Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give +them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. + +@item +MODIFICATIONS + +You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under +the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release +the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified +Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution +and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy +of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: + +@enumerate A +@item +Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct +from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions +(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section +of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version +if the original publisher of that version gives permission. + +@item +List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities +responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified +Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the +Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), +unless they release you from this requirement. + +@item +State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the +Modified Version, as the publisher. + +@item +Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + +@item +Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications +adjacent to the other copyright notices. + +@item +Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice +giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the +terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. + +@item +Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections +and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. + +@item +Include an unaltered copy of this License. + +@item +Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add +to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and +publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If +there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one +stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as +given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified +Version as stated in the previous sentence. + +@item +Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for +public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise +the network locations given in the Document for previous versions +it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section. +You may omit a network location for a work that was published at +least four years before the Document itself, or if the original +publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. + +@item +For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve +the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the +substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or +dedications given therein. + +@item +Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, +unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers +or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. + +@item +Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section +may not be included in the Modified Version. + +@item +Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or +to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. + +@item +Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. +@end enumerate + +If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or +appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material +copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all +of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the +list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. +These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. + +You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains +nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various +parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has +been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a +standard. + +You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a +passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list +of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of +Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or +through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already +includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or +by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, +you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit +permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. + +The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License +give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or +imply endorsement of any Modified Version. + +@item +COMBINING DOCUMENTS + +You may combine the Document with other documents released under this +License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified +versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the +Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and +list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its +license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. + +The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and +multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single +copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but +different contents, make the title of each such section unique by +adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original +author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. +Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of +Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. + +In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History'' +in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled +``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'', +and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all +sections Entitled ``Endorsements.'' + +@item +COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + +You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents +released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this +License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in +the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for +verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. + +You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute +it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this +License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all +other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. + +@item +AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + +A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate +and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or +distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright +resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights +of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. +When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not +apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves +derivative works of the Document. + +If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these +copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of +the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on +covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the +electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. +Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole +aggregate. + +@item +TRANSLATION + +Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may +distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. +Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special +permission from their copyright holders, but you may include +translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the +original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a +translation of this License, and all the license notices in the +Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include +the original English version of this License and the original versions +of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between +the translation and the original version of this License or a notice +or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. + +If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'', +``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve +its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual +title. + +@item +TERMINATION + +You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and +will automatically terminate your rights under this License. + +However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license +from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, +unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally +terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder +fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to +60 days after the cessation. + +Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after +your receipt of the notice. + +Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently +reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does +not give you any rights to use it. + +@item +FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + +The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions +of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new +versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may +differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See +@uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}. + +Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. +If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this +License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of +following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or +of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the +Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version +number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not +as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

A +static site generator assists an author with generating the HTML pages +that they publish on the web. Unlike ``content management systems'' +such as Wordpress or Drupal, static site generators are not dynamic +web applications (complete with a relational database) that build +pages on-the-fly. Instead, web pages are built in advance, on the +author's computer, and copied to a web server when it is time to +publish changes. The consequence of this design is that the web +server no longer needs to run a complex, potentially insecure web +application that connects to a database to retrieve data. Static +files can be served easily by any generic web server. Since there is +no web application or database server to deal with, static websites +are easier to maintain, more secure, and resistant to high web traffic +(``slashdotting.'') Furthermore, the entire website is stored in +plain text, which allows the files to be version-controlled rather +than kept in a relational database with no concept of history that +needs to be backed up regularly. + +At the time that Haunt was conceived, there existed literally hundreds +of other static site generators. Why add another one? Haunt +differentiates itself from most other static site generators in that +it aspires to the Emacs philosophy of ``practical software freedom.'' +Not only is the source code available under a Free Software license, +as most static site generators are, it is designed to be easily hacked +and extended without altering the core source code. Haunt +purposefully blurs the line between document and program, author and +programmer, by embracing the notion of data as code. A Haunt-based +website is not simply data, but a computer program. This design +strategy encourages authors to automate repetitive tasks and empowers +them to extend the software with their own ideas. + +To make such a system work well, a general-purpose, extensible +programming language is needed. A traditional configuration file +format simply will not do. The programming language that we feel is +best suited to this task is Scheme, a clean and elegant dialect of +Lisp. We believe that by giving authors the full expressive power of +Scheme, they will be able to produce better websites and make better +use of their time than with less programmable systems and less capable +programming languages. Authors should feel empowered to hack the +system to make it do what they want rather than what some programmer +decided they should want. And perhaps most importantly, building +websites with Haunt should be @emph{fun}. + +Websites written in Haunt are described as purely functional programs +that accept ``posts'', text documents containing arbitrary metadata, +as input and transform them into complete HTML pages using Scheme +procedures. Haunt has no opinion about what markup language authors +should use to write their posts and will happily work with any format +for which a ``reader'' procedure exists. Likewise, Haunt also has no +opinion about how authors should structure their sites, but has sane +defaults. Currently, there exist helpful ``builder'' procedures that +do common tasks such as generating a blog or Atom feed. While the +built-in features may be enough for some, they surely will not be +enough for all. Haunt's Scheme API empowers authors to easily tweak +existing components, write replacements, or add entirely new features +that do things no else has thought to do yet. + +Happy haunting! + +@node Installation +@chapter Installation + +@menu +* Downloading:: Downloading the source code. +* Requirements:: Software needed to build and run Haunt. +* Building:: Building from source code. +@end menu + +@node Downloading +@section Downloading + +Official Haunt source code release tarballs can be found on the +@url{http://haunt.dthompson.us/downloads.html, downloads page} of +Haunt's website, along with their associated checksums. + +@node Requirements +@section Requirements + +Haunt depends on the following packages: + +@itemize +@item +@url{https://gnu.org/software/guile, GNU Guile} version 2.0.11 or +later +@end itemize + +The following dependencies are optional: + +@itemize +@item +@url{http://www.nongnu.org/guile-reader/, Guile-Reader} version 0.6 or +later (for Skribe support) +@end itemize + +@node Building +@section Building + +Haunt uses the standard GNU build system, so the basic installation +procedure looks like this: + +@example +./configure +make +make install +@end example + +@node Tutorial +@chapter Tutorial + +The goal of this tutorial is to quickly create a barebones blog with +Haunt in order to demonstrate the basic workflow and key concepts. + +First, create a directory for the new site: + +@example +mkdir haunt-tutorial +cd haunt-tutorial +@end example + +Next, create the site configuration file @file{haunt.scm}. This is +where all of the code for building the website will go. + +Here's what a simple Haunt configuration looks like: + +@example +(use-modules (haunt asset) + (haunt site) + (haunt builder blog) + (haunt builder atom) + (haunt reader skribe)) + +(site #:title "My First Haunt Site" + #:domain "example.com" + #:default-metadata + '((author . "Eva Luator") + (email . "eva@@example.com")) + #:readers (list skribe-reader) + #:builders (list (blog) + (atom-feed) + (atom-feeds-by-tag))) +@end example + +Haunt represents the full configuration of the website using the +@code{site} procedure. Site objects specify things like the site +title, the default metadata to use for posts, which markup formats are +supported, and which builders are used to generate web pages. + +With the above code saved into the @file{haunt.scm} file, the next +step is to create a @file{posts} directory and populate it with +articles to publish. Put the text below into a file named +@file{posts/hello.skr}: + +@example +(post + :title "Hello, World!" + :date (make-date* 2015 10 15) + :tags '("hello") + + (h1 [Hello, World!]) + + (p [This is my very first Skribe document!])) +@end example + +This is a +@url{http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/doc/user-3.html#skribe-syntax, +Skribe} document. Skribe is one of the built-in languages that Haunt +knows how to work with. It's basically Scheme, but with support for +writing literal text without quoting it all by enclosing it in square +brackets. The code above defines a post named ``Hello, World!'' with +a publishing date of 2015-10-15, whose contents are just a single +heading and a paragraph. + +To build the site, run @command{haunt build} to compile all of the +HTML pages. To view the results, run @command{haunt serve} and visit +@url{http://localhost:8080} in a web browser. @command{haunt serve} +is a handy utility that serves the contents of the website using +Guile's built-in HTTP server. Since the blog builder was specified in +@file{haunt.scm}, the default index page is a simple listing of all +posts, which for now is a single post. Clicking on the post title +will display a page with only that post's contents. + +In addition to the basic blog builder, the @file{haunt.scm} file +specifies two additional builders for Atom feeds. The +@code{atom-feed} builder creates a feed of all posts located at +@url{http://localhost:8080/feed.xml}. The @code{atom-feeds-by-tag} +builder creates one feed for each unique tag specified in the post +metadata. There's only one tag right now, ``hello'', and its feed is +located at @url{http://localhost/feeds/tags/hello.xml}. + +Tweaking a post, rebuilding the site, and viewing the results in a web +browser is the typical Haunt workflow. However, having to run +@command{haunt build} every after each edit is tedious. To address +this, run @command{haunt serve --watch}. The Haunt web server, in +addition to serving web pages, will now watch for changes to important +files and automatically rebuild the site when they are edited. This +streamlines the workflow into an edit, save, view loop. + +Now that we've introduced the basic utilities and concepts, continue +reading this manual to learn more about Haunt's command-line and +programming interfaces. + +@node Command-line Interface +@chapter Command-line Interface + +@node Programming Interface +@chapter Programming Interface + +@node Contributing +@chapter Contributing + +@c ********************************************************************* +@node GNU Free Documentation License +@appendix GNU Free Documentation License + +@include fdl-1.3.texi + +@c ********************************************************************* +@node Concept Index +@unnumbered Concept Index +@printindex cp + +@node Programming Index +@unnumbered Programming Index +@syncodeindex tp fn +@syncodeindex vr fn +@printindex fn + +@bye + +@c Local Variables: +@c ispell-local-dictionary: "american"; +@c End: @@ -34,7 +34,8 @@ (guix build-system gnu) (gnu packages) (gnu packages autotools) - (gnu packages guile)) + (gnu packages guile) + (gnu packages texinfo)) (package (name "haunt") @@ -55,7 +56,8 @@ (lambda _ (zero?
