# A generator that creates a sitemap.xml page for jekyll sites, suitable for submission to
# google etc.
#
# To use it, simply drop this script into the _plugins directory of your Jekyll site.
#
# When you compile your jekyll site, this plugin will loop through the list of pages in your
# site, and generate an entry in sitemap.xml for each one.
