# TODO #
* Smart CSS things (fill in the processors)
* Project global defines, parameters.
* pre- and post-scripts that will be run from __main__, either some shipped with heckweasel or project-level.
* Library of template modules? ATOM et al.
* Some off the shelf website templates and a template manager.
* Live refreshing server thing which maps a heckweasel tree into a web server's memory and updates on change.
* https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/wiki/Third-Party-Extensions
* add markdown_link_attr_modifier extension
* add figureAltCaption extension
* add qrcode extension
* Add support to define macros or whatever for Jinja, or to include generic stanzas in any output so adding macros won't mean repeatedly including them.
* It'd be good to generate a dependency tree and only recompile things based on changes, like makefile-like behavior.
* Fragments which would be blobs of mechanics like rss feed, thumbnail links, etc. They would be virtual files and other changes to processing
chains and project contents. `python -mheckweasel --fragment=rss,config=foo.meta` etc.
* Run commands as part of processing chains
* Project level processing chain overrides in the .meta or whatever.
* Project settings in separate file from .meta that would basically do .meta stuff. Like global meta + config in a top.heck file by default and overridable by a parameter. Maybe
a nice default filename that doesn't start with . (whereas .meta or .heck is the current base metadata)
* Handle the fact that HECKformat metadata is always a list in a more elegent way. We have some hacks in place where scalar values are expected, but if a project mixes
metadata formats it gets a bit messy.
* Provide a database-like interface to the global metadata tree, so that metameta page templates could query the database to assemble indexes and whatnot without looping over the actual files.
