Home : Projects : Argen
Argen is a quick and dirty Tcl script that generates static hierarchical HTML sites from a source tree. I originally wrote it in 2005 to replace an even older, less flexible Perl script I'd previously been using for that purpose, and have added various improvements over the years. I think I've been planning to throw it out for about 3 years now, but it keeps coming in handy so I've never quite managed to stop using it. Currently I'm using it to build this website, and as usual I'm trying to switch to a better technology but the convenience of Argen has kept it in service for this purpose so far.
The script is messy and inefficient, but since it's often been useful to me I've decided to offer it here in case it's of any use to anyone else. It's covered by the GNU GPL.
Version 1.3 is the best one so far; I've not been exactly meticulous in keeping track of exactly what's changed for each revision I'm afraid, but if any version is worth bothering with it's the latest one. Currently there's no documentation - I'll see if I can find the time to rectify that soon.
