nerc is a static site generator that converts directories of Markdown documents into HTML websites. It automatically builds navigation from the directory structure and turns README files into index pages.
Configuration, stylesheets and page templates can be defined globally or overridden for individual directories. This makes it possible to give different sections of a website their own appearance and behaviour while retaining inherited settings.
This is free and open source software.
