-## what's a static site generator
-a static site is a site with no fancy clicky things, signups, comments, just plain html. writing a raw html page for your blog makes it load very fast, but there's a lot of typing involved when designing it. markdown is a simpler and faster way to write pages, and bearclaw converts those markdown files to html for you, with your style template.
-
-no node-modules, no react, no fancy stuff or cool emojis. it just works.
-
-## how do we use it?
-bearclaw can be run on-demand, or it can rebuild automatically when it sees changes. there are 3 folders in the basic install: `markdown`, `output`, and `templates`. there is an optional 4th folder after v1.2.0 for `plugins`.
-
-- **markdown** - all your new posts go here
-- **output** - bearclaw puts your html and rss here
-- **templates** - header.html and footer.html
-- ***plugins*** *(optional)* - extra features for your page
-
-### How to init a bearclaw
-*As of bearclaw 1.2.0alpha*
-
-#### Linux
-First, download the [bearclaw executable](https://github.com/donuts-are-good/bearclaw/releases)
-
-then create a folder:
-```
-cd your_bearclaw_folder
-```
-
-either have the bearclaw executable in that folder, or set it up in your $PATH, to be able to call `./bearclaw ` from any folder.
-Either way, run the command once to generate the folder structure: :
-
-```
-./bearclaw
-```
-and you get:
-```
-your_bearclaw_folder
-├── markdown
-├── output
-│ ├── about.html
-│ └── posts.html
-├── plugins
-└── templates
-```
-
-that's it! point your webserver at `output` or handle it however is best for your case.
-
-**tip:** you can run `./bearclaw` and it will run once, or you can use `./bearclaw --watch` to watch the folders for changes.
-
-## plugins
-bearclaw supports plugins.
-plugins should be added to the `plugins` folder.
-
-To call a plugin in your markdown or html pages, use an html comment like this:
-```
-
-```
-bearclaw will swap the comment for the contents of the plugin file at the specified path.
-
-### Example
-
-**MyBlogPost.md**
-```markdown
-
-# My title
-
-Some text ...
-
-
-
-```
-
-with **plugins/draft.html**
-
-```html
-Draft in Progress
-
-```
-enables for example to add an html element that can be targeted specifically with CSS for special styling.
-You could also inject javascript, all sorts of content that bearclaw does not support natively.
-
-## issues
