+# MD-CMS
+
+> Markdown-based static site publishing — no server, no database, no terminal required.
+
+MD-CMS lets you write and publish a website entirely in markdown. Drop your `.md` files in a folder, run the build tool, upload the output to any static host, and you're done. All rendering happens in the browser.
+
+---
+
+## How it works
+
+MD-CMS has two parts:
+
+**`index.html`** — a single-file browser renderer. It reads your markdown files, config, and navigation at runtime and renders everything client-side. No build pipeline, no framework, no compilation step.
+
+**`mdcms.py`** — a zero-dependency Python CLI tool. It scans your content, generates `nav.yml` and `search.json`, validates your config, and packages everything into a zip file ready for upload.
+
+---
+
+## Features
+
+- **Write in markdown** — pages and posts with YAML frontmatter
+- **Categories** — serve multiple versions of the same page (e.g. languages, destinations, variants) via `?cat=` URL parameter and a dropdown UI
+- **Sections** — nested navigation defined in `nav.yml`; pages declare their section via frontmatter
+- **Full-text search** — category-aware, generated at build time
+- **Dynamic content tags** — embed post lists with date sorting, pagination, and year grouping using fenced `mdcms` code blocks
+- **RTL support** — per-category text direction
+- **Custom fonts per category** — load a font file from `assets/fonts/` when a category is selected
+- **Light and dark mode** — fully themeable via `config.yml`
+- **No server required** — everything is static; deploy to GitHub Pages, Codeberg Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or any file host
+- **Zero dependencies** — `mdcms.py` uses only the Python standard library
+
+---
+
+## File structure
+
+```
+mdcms.py          ← build tool, run this
+quickstart.md     ← getting started guide
+website/          ← everything in here gets deployed
+  index.html
+  config.yml
+  nav.yml
+  search.json
+  pages/
+    home.md
+    about.md
+    about.nb.md   ← Norwegian variant of about.md
+  posts/
+    2025-01-01-my-first-post.md
+  assets/
+    images/
+    fonts/
+```
+
+The `website/` folder is your deployable site. `mdcms.py` lives outside it.
+
+---
+
+## Getting started
+
+**Requirements:** Python 3 (standard library only). A modern browser.
+
+1. Clone or download this repository.
+2. Run `python3 mdcms.py` and choose **option 2** to build your config and folder structure from scratch.
+3. Write your pages in `website/pages/` and posts in `website/posts/`.
+4. Run `mdcms.py` again and choose **option 3** to generate `nav.yml` and `search.json`.
+5. Choose **option 8** to start a local webserver and preview your site.
+6. When ready to publish, choose **option 1** to validate, build, and export `website.zip`.
+7. Upload the contents of `website.zip` to your static host.
+
+> **Local preview note:** Open `index.html` via the built-in webserver (option 8), not by double-clicking the file. Browsers block local file access due to CORS restrictions.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+Site behaviour is controlled by two YAML files in `website/`:
+
+**`config.yml`** — site title, logo, default page, search settings, typography, layout dimensions, light/dark theme colours, and category definitions.
+
+**`nav.yml`** — navigation structure. Sections are defined here; pages declare their section via `section-id` in frontmatter. Sections can be nested.
+
+Both files are human-readable and comment-supported. The `mdcms.py` wizard generates them for you and can fill in missing values interactively.
+
+---
+
+## Categories
+
+Categories let you publish multiple versions of the same page — different languages, regions, or product variants — under a single URL with a `?cat=` parameter.
+
+Each variant is a separate file:
+
+```
+about.md          ← default
+about.en-gb.md    ← British English variant
+about.nb.md       ← Norwegian variant
+```
+
+The category dropdown shows only categories for which a variant exists (or where a "not available" message is configured). All internal links preserve the active category.
+
+---
+
+## Tag system
+
+Embed dynamic post lists in any page using fenced `mdcms` code blocks:
+
+````markdown
+```mdcms
+posts-date-reversechronological
+limit: 10
+paginate: yes
+```
+````
+
+Available tags cover chronological and reverse-chronological post lists, grouped by year, with date or datetime display, and configurable pagination.

+# MD-CMS — Known limitations
+
+MD-CMS is under active development. 
+
+## mdcms.py only targets `/website` directory inside a project directory
+You can run `mdcms.py` from anywhere and define multiple projects. However, the current version excepts the website itself to live inside a `/website` directory inside your project directory. 
+
+In other words, you cannot keep the files in
+
+- `/home/username/mdcmssites/site-1` and 
+- `/home/username/mdcmssites/site-2`  
+
+they must be in 
+
+- `/home/username/mdcmssites/site-1/website` and 
+- `/home/username/mdcmssites/site-2/website`.
+
+## mdcms tags for posts 
+The tags that lists posts are broken. Currently, the only tags that reliably show posts are:
+
+- `posts-datetime-chronological-byyearmonth`
+- `posts-datetime-reversechronological`
+
+To correctly show posts, use `datetime` in frontmatter. 
+
+The tag `created` is defined in the frontmatter as the created date of a file, but it is not used.
+
+Use `datetime` to indicate the date and time a file was created, using the format `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM` (e.g., `2026-01-14 13:35`).
+
+Use `modified` using the format `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM` (e.g., `2026-01-14 13:35`) to show users when a file was last updated.
