Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
Welcome
This is a simple boilerplate for a static website, created with Asciidoctor and made somewhat 'easier' by using and abusing make to do something it isn’t really meant to do… Have a look on the:
Asciidoctor site
and on the
Makefile tutorial site
if you like.

I’m a great fan of GNU/Linux. The following probably won’t make much sense if you’re not running GNU/Linux. Seriously, why are you not running GNU/Linux? |
Running make in a terminal in the Template directory will cause Asciidoctor (you installed it, right?) to process all the new and or changed .adoc files in the source directory, and create the corresponding .html files in the site directory, as well as copy all new images, changed .css and .html files in the source directory to their corresponding directories in the site directory.
The site directory is now a complete, static website; just open index.html in the root directory, yes, that’s Template/site, with your favourite browser (which is of course Mozilla Firefox).
You can Zip it, slap it on a 'stick' and sell it for bags of gold, or publish it on the Interwebs, or just keep it to yourself…
If you’ve uncommented the appropriate lines in Makefile, make will also copy the entire site directory to the PUBLISDIR (which I’m sure you have pointing somewhere in your var/www/html directory), and Bob’s your uncle.
Oh, For Foot’s Sake…
If you’d like to get rid of the silly 'made by HankJr' stuff in the footer (see below), check out the files in the source/docinfo directory. You probably should have a read in the Asciidoctor documentation as well…
Finally.
If you did not stumble here via The GHOUL’s documentation , why don’t you have look there to see how snazzy a simple static website can be…
