#Using owl

owl is currently in an early development stage, so we don't really recommend using it.

But if you want to use it anyway, here is how you do it.

##The basics

Let's create an example file, which we'll be using in this little tutorial.

touch index.owl

Now, open the file in your favorite text editor and paste the following text into it:

head {
   title { "My awesome owl page" }
   meta (author = "Your name here");
}

document {
   h1 { "Hello, World!" }
   p { "Hello from owl :)" }
}

Nice! Let's compile our fancy example!

mono owl.exe -i index.owl

If you did everything right, owl will create the page "index.html" for you, which should look like that:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
  <head>
    <title>My awesome owl page</title>
    <meta author="Your name here">
  </head>

  <body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>

    <p>Hello from owl :)</p>
  </body>
</html>

Nice! You successfully created your first owl website :)
