The files are mostly static files, but some of the content is automatically generated. For example, you can change the <head> tag in every HTML file by editing it in index.html and running make to instruct inlineswap to copy&paste it into every other .html file. Some content is also extracted from files like download.md or ranger's CHANGELOG.md.

To update the "dynamic" content:

1. Download inlineswap and place it into your $PATH
2. Install the markdown console program
3. Symlink ranger's changelog: ln -s /path/to/ranger/CHANGELOG.md CHANGELOG
4. Run make, or just inlineswap yourfile.html
