Introduction

This file defines the SITE → domain mapping and per-site metadata for the Arcology web publishing system. The org tables below are the source of truth. An arroyo lua block tangles them to a domains.json file at build time, which is loaded by DomainMap.load() at server startup.

See publishing.org for the DomainMap implementation.

Site Table

One row per SITE. Title is the human-readable site title shown in the page header. Css File is an optional per-site stylesheet (served from /static/). Link Color is a hex color (e.g. =#a64040=) used by the dynamic /sites.css endpoint to color cross-site links pointing at this site's domains. Hljs Theme is the highlight.js theme name (without .min.css) used for source block syntax highlighting on this site — the file is served from /static/hljs/<theme>.min.css; leave blank to fall back to github-dark. Domains is a comma-separated list (e.g. rix.si,thelionsrear.com) — a SITE may serve multiple domains; the lua generator splits this into a JSON array.

JSON Generator

This lua block reads the site-meta table and emits a single domains.json file. The output is a JSON object with a sites array; each site carries its key, title, cssFile, linkColor, hljsTheme, and a domains array. The :comments none header skips delimiter comment wrapping since this is a config file, not source code.
