## Notes

Weaver is a Ruby library that generates websites from weave files. A weave file holds Ruby code that calls methods named after HTML tags, such as `h1` and `center_page`, and `bundle exec weaver build` writes the result into a build directory. `bundle exec weaver` starts a local preview on port 4567 during development. The project's documentation site is itself written in Weaver.

## Worth knowing

The repository README still contains the default text of a RubyGems template, with no usage section.
