sblg is a utility for creating static blogs.
It merges articles into templates, generating static HTML files, Atom feeds, and JSON files. It’s built for use with make-style build environments.
Write HTML (XHTML) articles and templates. sblg pulls data from the articles and merges it into the templates. This is usually orchestrated with a Makefile. And that’s it. You can write articles in any format—like Markdown—so long it converts into XHTML. Article input files consist of XML fragments or whole documents.
This is free and open source software.
