|I've rewritten my site backend again. It's simpler now, with less fancy stuff and a greater focus on just letting me not worry about things.

|The solution is a mix of shell scripts (wrappers, which call tools on files and append the header & footer HTML) and [/retro/12/|Retro] (for conversion of a simple markup language (/RML/) to HTML. I have a fallback to use /pandoc/ for the older Markdown formatted files as well.

|This rebuilds the entire tree of content quickly, and copies the generated HTML to the hosting server. I'm pretty happy with this now. All of my core needs taken care of with less than 200 lines of Retro and shell code.
