User Guide
SCoT is a tool that generates HTML documents from simple text files. It is designed to manage contents without using a database or other server software. Instead you place your contents into text files in a certain structure on your file system. You will only need a text editor to write and a file manager to administrate your contents.
To create HTML documents it is rather usefull to know about the HTML concerning standards of the W3C
. A newbie to that stuff might want to read tutorials about HTML and CSS. I, personally, am rather fond of SelfHTML
