Webgen::SourceHandler::Copy
Summary
This source handler operates on paths that match one of the following path patterns (see the path pattern documentation for more information): **/*.css, **/*.js, **/*.html, **/*.gif, **/*.jpg, **/*.png, **/*.ico
Following is the default meta information set on any node created by this source handler:
kind: asset
Description
This source handler copies files from the source to the output directory, optionally running a content processor over the content. It is useful, for example, for CSS stylesheets, javascript files and images.
It decides using the file extension if a content processor should be used and which one. If the
short name of a content processor is the first part of the file extension, the file is processed by
this content processor and the first part is removed from the file extension. Otherwise no
processing is done at all. For example, a file named hello.jpg just gets copied verbatimly but a
file named usage.erb.html gets preprocessed by the erb content processor and written to a file
named usage.html. As you can see in this example, the processor name gets stripped from the file
extension.
If you want to use a specific content processor for processing a file, have a look at its documentation page which shows the unique short name that needs to be used in the file extension.
