Ornate is a tool for building multi-page HTML sites from Markdown sources.
URIs are used pervasively throughout Ornate for referencing different kinds of content.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Runs on the JVM; No installation required: Resolve the versioned dependencies in your build process for reproducible documentation builds with no external dependencies.
- Based on CommonMark, a standardized version of Markdown.
- Use well-established extensions: In particular, many developers are already familiar with Github-flavored Markdown.
- Graceful degradation: Some features require proprietary syntax extensions. They should degrade gracefully when processed with a pure CommonMark engine.
- Configuration based on Typesafe Config.
- Code highlighting is provided through the higlightjs extension.
- Extends the use of standard Markdown image elements to non-image objects.
- The default theme can use MathJax to render math notation.
- Modular design: Themes, templates, highlighters, extensions – everything can be customized with Scala code.
- Clean, modern default theme using responsive design for a good user experience on all devices from mobile phones to desktop PCs.
