"Xossbow" is pronounced "Crossbow".
Elm is a good wood for making bows. A Crossbow is a particularly powerful bow. Xossbow is a particularly powerful blogging framework, made with Elm and based on billstclair/elm-html-template.
Xossbow is pure Elm, hence it will run in elm reactor. To do that:
cd ...
git clone [email protected]:billstclair/xosbow.git xossbow
cd xossbow
elm reactor
Then aim your browser at http://localhost:8000/src/Xossbow.elm.
To test compile a file in the src/ directory, e.g. Xossbow.elm:
cd .../xossbow
bin/m Xossbow
To build Xossbow, and put the resulting index.html into the site/ directory:
cd .../xossbow
bin/build
To do a build and sync the xossbow.com website with your local machine (not too useful for anybody but me):
cd .../xossbow
bin/update-site
Indexing.md contains documentation of the post file format and indexing scheme.
