the pages config-file

This file specifies the pages to be generated by page-writer and requires knowledge of it. It is processed sequentially from the beginning. Each line has one directive. The directives are taken from the tags processed by page-writer:

var VARNAME VALUE - this creates a variable called VARNAME and gives it the value VALUE
var::config VARNAME CONFIGVALUE ... - this creates a variable from the values in the configuration hash. In theory, any value can be obtained, but in practice two levels seems to be sufficient.
page TEMPLATENAME FILENAME - This causes the generation of a web-page using the TEMPLATENAME template from the page-templates config-dir which will be stored in the file FILENAME
chdir DIRNAME - Changes to the directory DIRNAME, creating it if necessary.

Blank lines and lines beginning with a # are treated as comments and ignored.
