# fmj
fmj is an rss feed generator. it takes a directory of config files that describe the posts and outputs xml.

the file format is more concise than handwriting xml:
```fmj
title = s/discord/???
description = on replacing discord
link = https://bear.o7moon.dev/sdiscord/

anything that isnt one of the defined options is a comment
```

## usage examples:
- `fmj tests/examples \\-` will output to stdout
- `fmj tests/noconf filename.xml` will output to `filename.xml`
- `fmj tests/defaultauthor` will output to `rss.xml`
## building / platform support:
this repo is a port of the [previous c implementation](https://git.tilde.town/moss/fmj) to [tomo](https://github.com/bruce-hill/tomo), which is a relatively recent language and has some rough edges (the requirement to write \\\\- instead of - for stdout comes from a conflict with the language's built-in argument parsing) but ive found it to be nicer than c for this small program and i used it as a chance to both learn a new language and make a small improvement to the c implementation (this one handles utf-8! due to tomo's Text type also handling it).

`fmj.tm` can be built with the tomo compiler like this, if you have it installed:
```
tomo -e fmj.tm
```
