soupault: Extract metadata into a JSON file without generating pages.

soupault

$ soupault --index-only --dump-index-json ${filename-json}

try on your machine

The command you mentioned is using the "soupault" tool with some flags and providing a value for the "--dump-index-json" parameter.

Here's the breakdown of the different components:

"soupault": It refers to the name of the tool or executable being executed in the command. It seems to be a specific command-line tool for website generation or static site generation.
"--index-only": This flag is an option to specify that only the index file of the website should be generated. It means that instead of generating all the web pages, only the initial index file will be generated.
"--dump-index-json": This flag is another option provided by the "soupault" tool. It specifies that the generated index file should be dumped or saved in JSON format. The JSON file will contain information about the sections, headers, and structure of the index file.
"${filename-json}": This is a placeholder or variable representing the filename to be used for the generated JSON file. It should be replaced with the actual desired filename you would like to use. The JSON file will be saved with this name.

By executing this command, the "soupault" tool will generate the index file of a website and save it as a JSON file with the provided filename.
