Inderator User Manual:

Inderator stands for Website Index File Generator. As the name implies, it is a utility
program to generate static index files for websites.

Inderator is written in C#. .NET Framework 4.6.1 or Mono Project is required to run
Inderator.
Inderator walks a directory tree, given by a root folder that you specify in the program, and
generates an index.html file in every non-empty folder. The root folder itself is not indexed.
Each index.html file is generated based on a “master” template file in the root folder. A
“master” header and a “master” content file can be placed in each sub-folder, which will be
included in the final index.html file, which is written to each folder. In case the current folder
does not have a header and/or a content file, then the header and content files from the root
folder are used.
Inderator can also be configured to ignore certain filenames, so that they will not be included
inside the listings of the generated index.html files.
index.html files are not generated in empty folders. An empty folder is a folder that does not
contain any listable files, either because all the ignored files in it have been filtered out, or
because it does not contain any files or sub-folders on the file system. However, empty
folders are still listed in their parent folders, but no anchor link is generated in the parent
folder’s listing, to enter the empty folder, and neither is an index.html generated in the empty
folder, as previously stated.

Inderator’s settings file uses a nice and simple JSON configuration format. The name of the
settings file is hardcoded as inderator.json, and the file should be placed in the root folder to
be indexed. An example of inderator.json:
{
"ignoreFiles": ["index.htm", "index.html", "_header.html",
"_content.html", "desktop.ini"]
}
Description of configuration settings:
ignoreFiles: an array of filenames to ignore as part of the generated listing in
index.html
When you run the program and start the indexing process, the path to the root folder, as well
as the specified Base URL for the website, is saved to the Windows registry and loaded when
Inderator is started again at a later time, for convenience.
Template engine:
Inderator uses a basic template engine to generate index.html files.
A single master index template file is used by the engine, and its name is hardcoded as
_template.html. This file must be located in the root folder that is being indexed.
Inside _template.html, you can place four placeholder sections, which will automatically be
substituted with the appropriate generated information, for the current folder being indexed.
This process generates and writes an index.html file for each folder that is indexed.
The placeholder sections are:
[HEADER]
o The content of _header.html in the root folder or in the current folder, is
substituted into this placeholder in the final index.html file
[CONTENT]
o The content of _content.html in the root folder or in the current folder, is
substituted into this placeholder in the final index.html file
[NAVIGATION]
o A breadcrumb trail to the current folder being indexed is generated, by
splitting the path of the current folder into portions divided by the \ character,
and writing each portion as a navigation link. For example,
Root folder: C:\My Websites\around.co.za\Webroot
Sub-folder: C:\My Websites\around.co.za\Webroot\Projects\Test
Project\Source
