Elmstatic allows you to write the HTML layouts and the styles for the pages of your site in Elm.
It’s fairly unopinionated: you can generate whatever HTML you want, however you want — all you need to do is define a suitable main function in each layout.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Pages are generated from Elm code (you can use elm-ui, html or any other package that generates Html msg values).
- CSS is generated from elm-css stylesheets in Elm code (but you can use plain old stylesheets if you like).
- Fully customisable layouts for posts and lists of posts.
- Optional subsections with their own posts (eg /postgres and /elm on this site).
- Posts can be written in Markdown or elm-markup (but you can actually treat content as any format if you like).
- Posts can have multiple tags.
- Future-dated posts are considered to be drafts and excluded from the build by default (or included with a flag).
- A page with a list of posts is generated for each tag.
- RSS is generated for the posts, including a feed with all posts and a feed per subsection
Code blocks have syntax highlighting via Highlight.js (but you can set up something else). - Watch mode where Elmstatic watches for file changes and rebuilds the site (live reload can be achieved by combining with browser-sync).
