[Question] One page theme

[Kikobeats]

I'm interested in create a docpress theme called docpress-one that presents all the documentation in one html file.

Something very inspired on this: http://apex.run/

Do you think that could be more or less easy to do?

It sounds possible. Not super easy, but possible.

Docpress is simply two Metalsmith plugins:

• docpress-core (parses your MD and turns them into basic html)
• docpress-Base (adds CSS, js, etc onto those htmls)

What you need to do is reimplement docpress-Base yourself. Make it a
Metalsmith plugin that consolidates those HTML files into one. Lemme know
how I can help!

I think that the point is the relayout function: https://github.com/docpress/docpress-base/blob/master/index.js#L149

Basically in the function you are creating a html file based in the metadata and using the jade layout.

The thing that I want to do is do the same but append into the index file. It is correct?

I tried do something fast as proof concept. Basically reimplement relayout method to append all the html into the index file:

I need to reorganize the aside to works with the new markup. What do you think?

expected output similar to: http://astrum.nodividestudio.com/pattern-library/

I think it's possible to implement this as a plugin that's to be included after docpress-base. With the recent talks on theming, I think a one-page style should be part of the official themes.

Here's a quick and dirty demo:
