RICE

Rice is inspired by the Wheat blog engine using doT for templating and markdown support (wheat + jade = rice... even though jade is no longer used).

How-To

Rice requires a folder structure like so:

• Root
  • posts/ *contains .md files
  • public/
    • stylesheets
      • contains .css files
    • images
      • contains images, such as backgrounds, favicons, etc.
  • templates/
    • contains .dot doT template files

A complete example can be found in the examples directory.
