Dynamic templates
If the [site directory]/templates files are executable, they will be run when Pagegen generates the site and their output used.
A good use of this is to setup a footer which has a copyright notice showing the current year. Do this by setting the [site directory]/templates/footer to the following.
#!/bin/bash echo "<div id="copyright">Copyright © $(date +%Y)</div>" echo "</body>" echo "</html>"
Make the footer template executable chmod +x [site dir]/templates/footer
When the site is generated each page will have a footer with the current year.
This example uses a bash script, but any executable can be used to generate content.
