# DIRL
dirl is a quark extension for customized directory listings.
Per default dirl generates html for a directory listing like this:
```html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC " - // W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<!-- Header Section -->
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<title>Index of {uri}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Index of {uri}</h1>
<p><a href="..">&crarr; Parent Directory</a></p>
<hr />
<table>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Modified</th><th>Size</th></tr>
<!-- /Header Section -->
<!-- Entry Section -->
<!-- (repeated for each entry in the directory) -->
<tr>
<td><a href="{entry}">{entry}{suffix}</a>
<td>{modified}</td>
<td>{size}</td>
</tr>
<!-- /Entry Section -->
<!-- Footer Section -->
</table>
<hr />
<p>
Served by <a href="http://tools.suckless.org/quark/">quark</a> and <a href="https://git.friedl.net/playground/suckless-quark/src/branch/dirlist">dirl</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
<!-- /Footer Section -->
```
## Customize
The default listing can be styled by a `style.css` in the root directory.
You can also use your fully customized template by creating one or all the
template files for each section. Per default the section templates are named:
- .header.tpl
- .entry.tpl (repeated for each directory entry)
- .footer.tpl
Note that if you only provide some of the template files, they have to be
compatible with the generated default for the other sections.
For each of these templates you can use placeholders that are replaced by their respective values:
- header
* `{uri}`: Replaced by the current path
- entry
* `{entry}`: Name of the entry
* `{suffix}`: A suffix for the entry, mostly useful to distinguish directories (suffix '/') from files
* `{modified}`: Date the entry was last modified
* `{size}`: Size of the entry (if available)
### Subdirectory styling
dirl tries to the closest template for the currently visited path. This gives
you the opportunity to override templates in subdirectories. dirl walks the
directory hierarchy upwards from the currently visited path. As soon as it finds
one of the template files in a directory, it stops searching and uses the
templates in that directory.
In case no templates are found up until and including root, the default
templates are used.
### Customize names
The files defined as templates and style are ignored in the directory listing
itself. In case you need to list one of these directories, or have any other
reason to choose different names, the filenames can be configured in `dirl.h`.
Note that you need to compile your own quark version then.
# Download
You can also download CI builds for [quark-dirl](https://dirlist.friedl.net/bin/suckless/quark/).
There are no official releases. Quark has no dependencies and you can easily
build it from source. Don't forget to read up on the [suckless
philosophy](http://suckless.org/philosophy/).

If you are visiting this repository on GitHub, you are on a mirror of
https://git.friedl.net/playground/suckless-quark. This mirror is regularily
updated with my other GitHub mirrors. In contrast to other projects I do not
intend to move this tree to GitHub in the future. It is meant to stay a
read-only mirror.
