   1. Input path to folder
   2. List all files in folder
   3. Add each file/folder as child node
   4. If any folders in list --> Go back to step 2
   5. Render tree
  
   map: key=/index value=[compute, exploration, ...]
   map: key=/index/compute value=[_index, language, projects, techlog, devlog]
   map: key=/index/compute/devlog value=[log1, log2, log3]
   map: key=/index/compute/devlog/log1.md = []
  
   devlog.html
  
   |   devlog    | log       |
  
   // map filename -> path
   // path -> child
  
   [[ devlog ]]
  
  

• Initialize directory with a default structure

• Generate directory tree for source files

• Translate lyceum html files to md, to serve as test subjects

• Sort translated md files into folders

• Parse source markdown files and render them in HTML using a library like goldmark

• Parse frontmatter

• Now, how the hell am I going to do templating

  • Build steps are as follows:
    • Initialize goldmark
    • Iterate through all files and dirs
    • If file
      • Read file data
      • Convert to HTML
      • Parse metadata
      • Send HTML data, metadata and file map to template
      • Somehow render the navigation logic in the template

• Create templates

• Use frontmatter in templates

• Make it look good

• Extend markdown parsing to support backlinks
