<h1>Overview</h1>

<p>
The purpose of this example website is twofold:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
To show you how to build and publish a website using a combination
of <a href="links.html"><em>AsciiDoc</em></a> and the <a href="links.html">A-A-P</a> "super
make" program.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
To serve as a blueprint for packaging <a href="links.html">Python</a>
applications into a stand-alone Wizard installer for the Microsoft
Windows platform.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This example can be hosted under both UNIX (has been tested under
FreeBSD and Linux) and
Microsoft Windows. The instructions for building the
<a href="execution-environment.html">Execution Environment</a> and
<a href="installation-wizard.html">Installation Wizard</a> apply only to
Microsoft Windows.
</p>
<p>
As well as explaining how the site is built and published, these web
pages show how the entire site development environment can be packaged
into a executable Windows installation wizard using the
<a href="links.html">Inno Setup program</a>.
</p>
<p>
This allows the developer to package the website along with
publication tools for installation on the end-user's Windows PC.
</p>
<p>
This example can serve a model for distributing one or more Python
applications to Windows platforms packaged in a setup wizard
that installs:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Python applications.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Application data.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A stand-alone Python execution environment.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Icons to run the applications.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The complete source for this site along with scripts used to build,
publish and package it can be found in the <tt>examples/website</tt> directory
of the <a href="links.html"><em>AsciiDoc</em></a> distribution which can be downloaded
from <a href="http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/downloads.html">http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/downloads.html</a>.

I use UNIX forward-slash directory separators and shell commands
throughout this documentation, if you're using Microsoft Windows
you'll need to make a mental adjustment.
