About
====
webgen is used to generate web pages from page and template files. You
create one or more template files in which you define the layout of
your page and where the content should go. After that you create page
files in which you only define the content.
When webgen is run it combines the template with each of the page files
and generates the HTML output files. During this process special tags
are substituted so that, for example, a menu is generated.
More information on webgen can be found on its homepage:
http://webgen.rubyforge.org
