HTML Merge
Merges HTML files, compiles super-types and avoids dealing with Jekyll. (for me at least)
This tool helps you easily deal with...
- Including HTML files in other HTML files (even the
<head>
tag!) - Compiling language supertypes (like LESS, SCSS, TypeScript, CoffeeScript)
- Only LESS is currently supported
Installation
- Download Node.js and NPM.
- To install, type
npm install html_merge -g
in a terminal or command window.
Usage
Embedding content from other files
Create an .htmm
file with any normal HTML content. But, to include other files, you need to add <%filename%>
.
When merged, the <%>
includes get replace with the content of the files declared within them...
For example: <head><%head.html%></head>
can be used to embed the same metadata and link tags that get repeated across pages.
Direct supertype (pre-processor) compilation and reference replacement
After the content has been embedded html_merge
will look for any known supertypes (see supertypes.json) and compile them. It will then proceed to replace the references in the HTML file with the path to the compiled file.
For example: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.less" />
These are the currently supported super-types:
- Less - Provided by
lessc
Compilation (Merging)
Just to merge the file, use html_merge -m input.htmm
.
You can also prevent the compilation of supertypes by using -n
or --no-compile
.
