Firm is a blog-aware, static site generator.
This tool lets you write in literate programming style. What that means is that instead of writing documents in Markdown text and specifically format the parts that contain code, you turn it around and make code your main content and embed text as comments.
The major upside of this is that the source of your post or page is an fsharp script file (.fsx) that can be run in e.g. Visual Studio.
Key Features
- Supports stand-alone pages, blog posts, rss, tags (tag cloud) and post archive.
- Templates are written in Razor – a templating engine based on Microsoft’s Razor parsing engine.
- Posts and pages are written in Markdown, a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
