README.md

Plaintext Encyclopedia

A very simple and clean reader/browser? for plaintext... documentation? wiki? chapters of a book? whatever.

How to use

  1. Set your settings in settings.go
  2. Modify the application (if you want)
  3. Compile go get && go build -o server
  4. Place your .txt files into entries/ (see section "Formatting" below)
  5. Run ./server
  6. put behind a proxy (or don't).

Formatting

The only formatting option you have: to define a title.

Title: A title

here comes the entry body ...

It has to be defined in the first line of the text file.
If you don't define a title, the filename without the .txt part gets used as the title.

Requirements

Developed and tested on Linux. Should work on other Unixoids.
