            <h1>Kethel/2: A high level overview of a low-level SSG</h1>
            <p>
                I've been meaning to rewrite my old elixir-based SSG for a newer, and easier to set up alternative.
                So, what language is the most portable, has universal support across linux distributions?
                <code>ISO/IEC 9899:1999</code>, or <em>The C Programming Language</em> - of course!
            </p>
            <p>
                Kethel isn't a perfect SSG by any means; it sometimes just writes garbled data to the output HTML fil
                if a template or TSV ends with a newline, is probably vulnerable to several buffer overflow attacks,
                as no bounds checking is implemented at all for the templates, and treats HTML as plain text, with only a
                <code>strncmp</code> "parser". Yet, it still works! <br />
                So, I'd like to explain some design decisions behind Kethel, and convince YOU to use less CSS in your website!
            </p>
            <h2><code>aggregate.c</code>, and the solution to index page generation</h2>
            <p>
                The kethel2 workflow is heavily inspired by my experiences with <code>make</code>, linking errors, and C object files.
