Rimu Markup Plain Layout

A minimal unstyled HTML5 layout for the Rimu Markup rimuc command.

This package is also serves as a template for creating new layouts.

Installation

1. If you haven't already done so install Rimu:

    sudo npm install -g rimu

2. Install this package:

    sudo npm install -g rimu-plain-layout

Usage

Once this package has been installed then you can use the rimuc command --layout plain option to create unstyled HTML5 documents from Rimu markup. The following example generates an HTML5 file named mydocument.html:

rimuc --layout plain mydocument.rmu

How it works

When --layout <layout-name> option is specified rimuc searches for a built-in layout with the same name. If it's not found then rimuc attempts to import a nodejs module named rimu-<layout-name>-layout (in this case rimu-plain-layout). The imported module contains two attributes, header and footer, which return the Rimu header markup and footer markup respectively.

Creating new layouts

Creating a new layout is straightforward:

1. Clone the rimu-plain-layout Github project.
2. Replace or edit header.rmu and footer.rmu files.
3. Edit package.json and README.md to reflect the new layout name, Github repository, author etc.

For more complex header and footer examples take a look at the rimuc built-in layouts header and footer files.
