Challenge
The Site Class
Overview
Python is great for building simple command line applications. In this lab, you'll use classes to architect a command line static site generator. It will convert a group of either Markdown or reStructuredText files to HTML.
The command line application will be built using the
Typer
library and will allow you to configure a source folder to convert, containing your Markdown and reStructuredText files and a destination folder which will eventually contain the converted HTML files.In this module, we'll create a class that will set configuration values and create the root structure of our static site. ### Solution The solution can be found in the
