Static site generator

This is an example of how you might build a static site generator using Roc. It searches for Markdown (.md) files in the input directory, inserts them into a HTML template defined in Roc, and writes the result into the corresponding file path in the output directory.

To run, cd into this directory and run this in your terminal:

If roc is on your PATH:

roc run static-site.roc input/ output/

If not, and you're building Roc from source:

cargo run -- static-site.roc -- input/ output/

The example in the input directory is a copy of the 2004 website by John Gruber, introducing the Markdown format. https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
