All the information used by Dowww is stored in some configuration files.

- blank lines are ignored.
- lines whose the first non blank character is either # or ; are comment lines and then ignored.

other lines should contain either:
- a keyword, followed by arguments
- an identifier, doted or not, follwed by "=" and some assigned value.

Keywords can be lowercase or uppercase, and can appear several times in the config file(s). The 4 keywords are:

The "filename" file will be included where the INCLUDE command is placed. There is no limit to the number of include files. Included file is a dowww config file of same format. The current PREFIX (see below) configuration is not seen by the included file. Path is relative to the Config folder defined in configuration, or an absolute path. Each file is included only once, even if its name appears several times in different config files include command.

The prefix value xxx is inserted before each following identifier definition.

Example:
  prefix index
  title = "Title"
  data = "xxx"
  

This will assign the values to the data names "index.title" and "index.data". Each PREFIX command replace the precedent one, a PREFIX command without value will erase previous content.

Each FOLDER command declares a source folder to be copied without change into a destination folder. If needed, the destination folder and path are created. All files and subdirectories of the source folder are copied. Source path is relative to the Static folder configured, dest path is relative to the Web folder configured.

Example:
  Folder css css
  Folder images img

The command generate add one or several pages to the list of pages to be computed. Any number of GENERATE declaration can appear in the main config file or in included files. The page1, page2, ... names are the alias used to define the page data.

Example:
  generate index
  page.index.title = "Title"
