Werc Configuration Options

You can also find a description of some basic config options in the etc/initrc file itself.

General Setup Options

  • formatter - Command to use for document formatting (usually some form of markdown), should be able to take input both from file names passed as arguments or from stdin if no file names are provided. By default: formatter=(fltr_cache md2html.awk)

Titles and Metadata

Variables:

  • Page title:

    • siteTitle
    • siteSubTitle
  • Html header meta tags:

    • meta_description - <meta name="description" ...
    • meta_keywords - <meta name="keywords" ...
    • extraHeaders - Raw extra html headers, the content of this var will be inserted inside the <head> tag..

Sidebar and Navigation

Variables:

  • sideBarNavTitle

Functions:

  • conf_hide_paths [path_patterns ...] - Hide the given patterns from navigation menu, sitemap and dir listing (do not depend on this for security!).

HTTP Control

Variables:

  • extraHttpHeaders - Raw HTTP headers to be added to response.

Functions:

  • conf_perm_redirect [pattern] destination - If pattern is provided, match it against the requested url, and replace the match with destination; ie., *s/pattern/destination/.

Access Control and Permissions

The permissions system is very flexible, for example to only allow access to members of the group 'editors' you can do something like:

switch ($req_path) {
case /_users/login
case /pub/*
case /robots.txt
case *
    if(! check_user editors)
            perm_redirect /_users/login
}

To automatically redirect users without permission to the login page if they are not members of the group 'editors'.
