============================

A static site generator that does exactly what we need it to and no more.

(c) 2021 Starfall <starfall.systems>, all rights reserved until I decide it's in a good enough state for others to use.

Strike has simple goals:
 ✓ Read markup files from source folder
2. Convert to HTML
 ✓ Add boilerplate (head, header, footer, etc)
 ✓ Save to output folder

And some stretch goals to turn it into a blog generator:
 * Create an extra page listing all generated pages in order of creation date (newest first)
 * Add links to next & previous generated pages
 * Turn the extra page into a flexible component that can be added into any other page
 * Use different templates on different files

Markup:
reStructuredText fulfills most of our desires: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html
It generates <section>s and has specific markup for page titles.

Templating:
Complicated templating isn't necessary, just pre-content and post-content boilerplate for now.
The slight gotcha is that the page title may need updated as well, but we'll cross that bridge if we have to.

Front matter:
None for now.
