blag is a blog-aware, static site generator which uses Markdown.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Write content in Markdown.
- Good looking default theme.
- Theming support using Jinja2 templates.
- Generation of Atom feeds for blog content.
- Fenced code blocks and syntax highlighting using Pygments.
- Integrated devserver.
- Does not enforce a certain directory structure for pages and articles. You can mix and match them freely or structure them in different directories. blag will mirror the structure found in the content directory.
- Automatically converts relative markdown links. That means you can link you content using relative markdown links and blag will convert them to html automatically. The advantage is that your content tree in markdown is consistent and self-contained even if you don’t generate html from it.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
