"""Render a Pelican site as a small-net capsule beside its HTML.

A capsule is a directory of plain Markdown that a protocol daemon serves over
Gemini, Spartan, Nex, Gopher and WAP, converting per request. This writes one
out of the same content the HTML build uses, so the two never drift.

Written against `itsybitsy`, which parses **no frontmatter at all**: a document
is pure Markdown and its metadata lives beside it in a per-directory sidecar.
Pelican's own metadata is a block of bare `Title:`/`Date:` lines at the head of
every file, so served unchanged it becomes the first paragraph of every page.
Stripping that is most of what this plugin does.

Nothing here is specific to one site. Everything that differs between sites is a
setting, and every setting has a default, so a site can switch it on with just
`PLUGINS = ['smolnet']`.

    SMOLNET_OUTPUT        'smolnet'   directory under OUTPUT_PATH
    SMOLNET_SECTION_DIR   'section'   subdirectory holding one index per category
    SMOLNET_LATEST        15          entries on the front page; 0 drops the section
    SMOLNET_SECTION_ORDER {}          category name -> sort key, else alphabetical
    SMOLNET_LABELS        {}          override any heading, see LABELS
    SMOLNET_ASSETS        None        directories to copy; defaults to STATIC_PATHS
    SMOLNET_SIDECAR       '.itsybitsy.toml'
    SMOLNET_ROT13_ATTR    None        attribute holding a rot13 address to reveal
    SMOLNET_TAGLINE       None        one line at the foot of the index

Why link-only paragraphs rather than lists: gemtext has one kind of link, a line
beginning `=>`, so a renderer has to lift links out of the prose. itsybitsy's
gemtext renderer emits a bare `=>` line for a paragraph that holds nothing but
links, and tolerates soft breaks inside it, so a run of links on consecutive
lines comes out as a clean run of link lines. A Markdown list would instead
print a bullet *and* a link line for every entry, listing everything twice.

Gemini clients number link lines themselves, which means a menu of areas is
dialled by number without this plugin writing a single bracket.

The trade-off, measured rather than assumed: that shape is exact in gemtext and
in XHTML-MP, where each link keeps its own line, but the `text` renderer used
for Nex and Gopher reflows the run into a paragraph, so an index comes out as
`RANDOM · 4 (/area/random) PLACE · 7 (/area/place) …`. A Markdown list would be
the better answer for those two and the worse answer for the other three. Links
win, because gemtext is what a capsule is mostly read over; a site serving Nex
or Gopher as its main face should flip this.
