Hastie is a static site generator. It was created as a blogging centric replacement for Jekyll.
It processes a folder of markdown text files, applies a template, and generates an HTML site. The developer believes if you need a tool to generate docs, probably requires tweaking, playing with and maybe learning some golang, then Hastie might be it.
Hastie is free and open source software.
The name Hastie is from a character in the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Key Features
- Uses front matter to specify parameters for each page. The parameters are specified at the top of the markdown document in a section delimited with
---. - Supports user-defined parameters.
- Hastie will convert documents from Markdown to HTML. It’s possible to disable Markdown.
- Uses Go’s standard template package to provide templating.
- Allows for the use of command-line processing of files, provided the process takes the filename as input and spits out the results.
- Cross-platform software – runs under Linux, Mac and Windows.
