Coleslaw is Flexible Lisp Blogware similar to [Frog](https://github.com/greghendershott/frog), [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/), or [Hakyll](http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/).

See the [wiki](https://github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/wiki/Example-sites) for a list of coleslaw-powered blogs.
Coleslaw should run on any conforming Common Lisp implementations but
testing is primarily done on [SBCL](http://www.sbcl.org/) and [CCL](http://ccl.clozure.com/).

## Installation/Tutorial
<!-- Don't let the first user select from multiple choises -->
Step 1: Install this library.
With [Roswell](https://roswell.github.io/),
``` sh
$ ros install coleslaw
$ export PATH="$HOME/.roswell/bin:$PATH" # If you haven't done this before
```
or
``` lisp
(ql:quickload :coleslaw-cli)
```
Step 2: Initialize your blog repository.
``` sh
$ mkdir yourblog ; cd yourblog
$ git init
$ coleslaw setup
```
``` lisp
(coleslaw-cli:setup)
```
Step 3: Write a post file in the current directory.
The file should contain a certain metadata, so use the `coleslaw new` command,
which instantiates a correct file for you.
``` sh
$ coleslaw new
Created a post 2017-11-06.post .
```
``` lisp
(coleslaw-cli:new "post")
```
Step 4: Generate the site from those post files.
The result goes to the `deploy/` subdirectory.
``` sh
$ coleslaw
```
``` lisp
(coleslaw-cli:generate)
```
Step 5: You can also launch a server...
``` sh
$ coleslaw preview
```
``` lisp
(coleslaw-cli:preview)
```
Step 6: and watch the file system to automatically regenerate the site!
``` sh
$ coleslaw watch # or even better,
$ coleslaw watch-preview
```
``` lisp
(coleslaw-cli:watch) ;; watch-preview does not work on REPL right now
```
For further customization, e.g. adding a new plugin, developing a new plugin, changing the deploy option, or creating a new theme,
see the [config docs](docs).
We provide three default themes: hyde, the default, and readable (based on
[bootswatch readable](http://bootswatch.com/readable/)).
A core goal of *coleslaw* is to be both pleasant to read and easy to
hack on and extend. If you want to understand the internals and bend
*coleslaw* to do new and interesting things, I strongly encourage you
to read the [Hacker's Guide to Coleslaw][hackers]. You'll find some
current **TODO** items towards the bottom.
