LuaWebGen is a static website generator.
Webpages are generated using HTML and Markdown templates with embedded Lua code. CSS files can also include code.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Use any standard Lua library normally in your code, like io and os.
- Markdown parser (for GitHub Flavored Markdown). Markdown can contain tables and more.
- Pages are generated in two steps: first the content of the page (from the file in the content folder), then the layout (which will insert the result from the first step into itself). It’s possible for a page to say no layout should be used, in which case there’s only one step. Templates that aren’t pages (CSS and XML files) use no layout and thus also only have one step.
