Very slick.

Quick question (could not find an answer on the project site): How do I
configure a site to write the generated site to a directory other than
'output'?

Add the following line to the project Rakefile

SITE.output_dir = 'your/new/output/directory'

The SITE constant is an OpenStruct that holds all the defaults for the
website. Here are all the default settings (just FYI) -- you can find
them in the lib/webby.rb file in the gem

@site = OpenStruct.new(
:output_dir => 'output',
:content_dir => 'content',
:layout_dir => 'layouts',
:template_dir => 'templates',
:exclude => %w(tmp$ bak$ ~$ CVS \.svn),
:page_defaults => {
'layout' => 'default'
},
:find_by => 'title',
:base => nil,
:create_mode => 'page',

# Items for running the heel webserver
:heel_port => 4331,

# Items used to deploy the webiste
:host => 'user@hostname.tld',
:remote_dir => '/not/a/valid/dir',
:rsync_args => %w(-av --delete),

# Options passed to the 'tidy' program when the tidy filter is
used
:tidy_options => '-indent -wrap 80',

# XPath identifiers used by the basepath filter
:xpaths => %w(
/html/head//base[@href]
/html/head//link[@href]
//script[@src]
/html/body[@background]
/html/body//a[@href]
/html/body//object[@data]
/html/body//img[@src]
/html/body//area[@href]
/html/body//form[@action]
/html/body//input[@src]
)
# other possible XPaths to include for base path substitution
# /html/body//object[@usemap]
# /html/body//img[@usemap]
# /html/body//input[@usemap]
)


Blessings,
TwP

Great. Thank you very much. Really good work.
