Subject: zenweb 2.11.0 released!
ZenWeb 2.11.0 has been released!
I don’t think I’ve remembered to announce any releases in a while, so
this one is a tad different. Among the newest changes are:
- relative url renderer
- massively improved demo/docs
- separated renderers into individual files
- improved installation
- extended zenwebpage to specially render SiteMap and metadata.txt.
- improved testing and requirements validation
- now properly renders ~user type sites.
- some improvements for the spam paranoid.
- ruby code eval mechanism in the metadatarenderer. (eg #{1 + 1} in your
text)
The docs still need some expansion, but I think they are much much
better. I’d love some feedback on this. The mailing list is a tad quiet,
so anything would help!
From the README.txt:
ZenWeb
zenspider projects | software projects | by ryan davis
support@zenspider.com
DESCRIPTION:
ZenWeb is a set of classes/tools for organizing and formating a
website. It is website oriented rather than webpage oriented, unlike
most rendering tools. It is content oriented, rather than style
oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It provides a plugin system of
renderers and filters to provide a very flexible, and powerful system.
(Minimal) documentation is available in the demo directory. See
QuickStart and YourOwnWebsite for setup and starting to build a
website.
FEATURES:
- SiteMap oriented for a comprehensive website.
- Generic architecture w/ a set of plugins to extend any page or
directory.
- Incremental page builds for very fast generation.
- Simple text-to-html markup makes creating large websites easy.
- Much much more… I should probably add that here, huh?

What is it?

Picky, picky!
I’m not the best person to give an overview of ZenWeb, but here goes.
ZenWeb is a tool for building websites (not web pages). It applies a
defined set of filters to files of content (often flat text or lightly
marked up text (think wiki)) and creates hierarchically navigable pages,
with a consistent theme and design.
Examples are at: www.zenspider.com and (I believe) www.coolnamehere.com
, thought the latter is not responding right now.
