On these pages you will find a description of wenost and the wenost project.

Wenost was designed to simplify hand construction and maintenance of larger websites. It converts a description of the structure of a website into a set of files for use with PPWizard. PPWizard is an HTML pre-processor. This site was constructed using wenost. Other sites have also been constructed using wenost.

As a complement to wenost a program (htm2txt) is also provided that extracts data from existing HTML files that can then be used with wenost. This allows for "reverse engineering" of a site, but is not suitable for "round trip engineering".

Wenost and htm2txt are written in Python and are open source, released under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).

The wenost Project is hosted by SourceForge where the following are accessible:

• The wenost group page.
• The three mailing lists for this project (see links for further details):
  • a list for developers;
  • a list for users; and
  • a list for announcements about wenost.
• The project files can be viewed via the CVS web interface.
