Magnanimous is billed as the simplest and nicest static website generator in the world.
Magnanimous has the following guiding principles:
- No configuration.
- No magic.
- Explicit is better than implicit.
- Generate static websites well, nothing else.
Key Features
- Simple templating mechanism based on a tiny expression language (simple as 2 + 2 is {{ eval 2 + 2 }}).
- Include a file into another ({{ include other-file.html }}).
- Define variables ({{ define title “Hello world” }}).
- Components and slots inspired by web components.
- Conditional content ({{ if title == “Home” }}We are home{{ end }}).
- For loops over files and variables ({{ for file /path/to/files }}* Post name: {{eval file.postName}} {{end}}).
- Markdown content automatically converted to HTML.
- Source code highlighting in markdown.
