Run some examples from examples directory or use this as a base:
```rust
use actix_web::{get, HttpRequest, Responder};
use maud::html;
[get("/")]
pub(crate) async fn index(r: HttpRequest) -> impl Responder {
let content = html!(
p { "Hello World" };
)
.intostring();
webbase::func::build_site(&r, "Index", &content)
}
[actix_web::main]
async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
webbase::map!(
webbase::Site::new()
.enablebootstrap(false)
.enablepicocss(false),
|app: actixweb::App<_>| { app.service(index) }
)
.bind(("0.0.0.0".tostring(), 8080))?
