Config files are handy for template designers to specify site-wide variables. Values for config files must be either in single or double quotes, but can span multiple lines with no problems. Comments in config files are indicated by beginning a line with a pound sign (#). When the parser encounters a pound sign outside of quotes, the rest of the line is regarded as a comment. Config variables are referred to in templates using a special syntax and are considered "constants" in that the value of a config variable cannot be changed in the template, but they are otherwise treated the same as normal variables. A config variable looks like this: #variable#
. In the following, there are three sections, two public and one private.
siteURL = "http://www.paullockaby.com/" siteName = "paullockaby.com :: the distilled thoughts of paul lockaby" [.private] # what timezone are we in? siteUTCOffSet = "-5" # database information db_username = "username" db_password = "password" db_host = "localhost" db_database = "test_database" [display] blue = "#0000ff" # this is the color blue longline = "This is a value that spans more than one line. you don't have to do anything special to make it display." [login] title = "Welcome to the website" button1 = "login" button2 = "register"All values must be contained inside of quotes. Comments can be on a line by themselves or at the end of a line and are indicated by a prepended pound or hash (#).
