Except rest2web itself has no knowledge of CSS - you can store your CSS 
files wherever you want.

If you are using force mode there is no way of specifying where your 
template file is other than the command line. To make this more 
convenient you could create a batch file which runs rest2web with  the 
correct command line options set to keep your template file there.

[Rest2web-develop] Another wish/request

[Eur I. C. G. <cl...@is...>]

A request 'for the next release' maybe.

Can the configuration/layout be changed so that the templates and
stylesheets are in the same place?  It makes sense because they are
closely related and one nearly always wants to edit them both, or at
least refer to one while you're editing the other.

Simply making the default directory for the template.txt file being
the stylesheets directory would be OK.  It might be even better to
make this directory configurable in the .ini file.

[Rest2web-develop] A general thank you

[Eur I. C. G. <cl...@is...>]

By the way, having played with rest2web for a few days now and having
started to use it for my personal notes and documentation tree I'm
finding it excellent, almost perfect for what I want.

With a bit of tuning (and one macro so far) I have got it to 'wrap
itself around' my existing tree of notes etc. quite easily.

Also, as I said in another list recently, I'm finding that applications
written in python seem to fit my ideas and requirements rather well.
I'm beginning to think that python will become my scripting language
of choice (I am fairly familiar with sed/awk and shell scripts and have
dabbled in perl).  The macro I wrote wasn't too painful which is
surprising since I was learning python as well finding my way about
rest2web.

So a big thank you for rest2web - and my frequent questions will
probably die down soon.  :-)

Aha, yes I see, it's just a consequence of that being the

Excellent, thank you, I didn't grep quite far enough down to find it!

Yes, ultimately, it would be nice for it to be configurable (my wife

It is in the 'provide_default_index' of the restprocessor. 
(restprocessor.py). I should make this configurable. When I have 
finished my book...

    def provide_default_index(self, filename=None):
        """Provide defaults for a missing index page."""
        if filename is None:

Right - this is just an example of the 'include' macro - which includes 
the config file inside a page.

If you just grep for 'r2w.ini' in the docs you should be able to find it 
and edit it.

Well... :-)

If you have r2w.py on your path then you're pretty much there. rest2web
now has the default macros built in (thanks to some inspiration from
Martin), so you *only* need to use the 'macros.py' file if you are
implementing your own macros.

In this case you specify the path to the macros file in your site config
file.

[Eur I. C. G. <cl...@is...>]

I have been trying to 'tidy' up my use of rest2web so I have created
different .ini files for different projects.  Thus I have created a

(surprise!) docs.ini.

    r2w.py docs.ini

It starts up OK but fails as follows:-

Note that if you happen to have just copied r2w.ini to docs.ini and
the r2w.ini still exists you don't get the error of course.  It only
happens when there's no r2w.ini at all.

It looks as if there's a "r2w.ini" hard coded somewhere that it
shouldn't be I guess.

Once again RTFM, the -t option of r2w.py allows one to specify where
the template.txt file is.  However I do think that changing its name
to something other than a .txt file might be a good idea.

Well there I was thinking that the force option would be useful for
me, but there's one issue for me.

I have start_directory set to the same value as target_directory
since the web server I am using is on the machine where I'm running
rest2web.  If you do this r2w.py tries to process the template.txt
file, which doesn't work very well.

Is there any way to either move the template.txt file out of the
start_directory or to give it a different name?

Oops, I should RTFM, sorry.  The variable I need is 'pagepath'.

Is this available in macros or only in python executed in a template?

[Rest2web-develop] Refer to current directory in macro/template - how?

[Eur I. C. G. <cl...@is...>]

I'm (trying to) write a macro, or maybe some python to go in a
template, which needs access to the 'current' directory, i.e. the
directory where r2w.py is currently creating HTML files.

Is there any available variable for macros/templates which has this
information?

By the way is there any reason for choosing a macro rather than
<#....#> code in a template?  Is it just that it's easier to use it in
more than one place with a macro?

[Rest2web-develop] What do I need to do to make r2w.py callable from anywhere?

[Eur I. C. G. <cl...@is...>]

Apart from the obvious putting r2w.py in my PATH that is.

If I want to maintain more than one set of web pages (call it a
'project') using rest2web what do I need to do to make it available
from anywhere?

Obviously each set of web pages will have a home directory of some
sort which will have the r2w.ini file in it, this can then tell r2w.py
where to find all the project specific stuff.

So what else from the unpacked rest2web-0.5.1.tar.gz do I need to put
somewhere so that it can be found?

    I have put r2w.py in a directory on my PATH.
    I have put the rest2web sub-directory in my Python site-packages
    What about macros.py and macros.pyc, do I need copy these anywhere?

OK, thank you, there are a few more ideas there to play with.
