Key Features
- Blazing fast. Thousands of pages of content render in under 10 seconds.
- Just three main commands to do everything.
- Support for tags as the taxonomical unit. Each post and page can have a list of tags. And each tag gets its own index page with all the posts under it.
- Built-in support for social media links.
- Includes an embedded Undertow server for live-previewing your site.
- Pagination support for index pages built in, with proper previous/next page support. You can specify the number of posts each index page will contain in the config.toml file.
- Easy theming using handlebars.java, which is similar to the widely popular handlebars.js templating engine.
- Support for syntax highlighting with fenced code blocs and language specification using highlight.js as of now. It supports over 125 languages and 63 styles.
- Per-post featured images.
