= Viewing the Kudu web site locally

This repository contains a handy wrapper tool called 'site_tool'
which takes care of installing and running the correct version of
jekyll.

NOTE: this tool has the following minimum dependencies:

* Python 2.6.6
* Ruby 1.9.3 and the Ruby development headers. On Ubuntu, these are the `ruby`
  and `ruby-dev` packages.
* libxslt and libxml2 development headers. On Ubuntu, these are the
  `libxslt-dev` and `libxml2-dev` packages.

[source,bash]
----
./site_tool jekyll serve
----

This will start a local web server on http://localhost:4000/ where you can view
the site just like it renders on the site.

In addition to serving static content, jekyll will render Markdown (the kramdown
flavor) and also supports templating using Liquid templates.

NOTE: to use `site_tool` on CentOS 6.x, Ruby 1.9.3 and a compatible version of
the V8 Javascript engine must be installed by enabling the `ruby193` and
`v8314` SCL repos, installing the `ruby193` and `ruby193-ruby-devel` packages,
and running `scl enable ruby193 bash` before running `site_tool`.

= Checking for broken links or syntax errors

Use the following command to verify that you didn't introduce any broken links
or HTML errors:

[source,bash]
----
./site_tool proof
----
