My static web pages are built from a huge bunch of templates which are inter-included using Template Toolkit's "import" and "include", so page.html looks like this:
[% INCLUDE top %]
[% IMPORT middle %]
Then top might have even more files included.
I have very many of these files, and they have to be run through to create the web pages in various languages (English, French, etc., not computer languages). This is a very complicated process and when one file is updated I would like to be able to automatically remake only the necessary files, using a makefile or something similar.
Are there any tools which can parse template toolkit templates and create a dependency list for use in a makefile?
Or are there better ways to automate this process?
