Sitebrew is a static site generator. It converts Markdown content into HTML while preserving a directory structure that corresponds with the published website’s URL paths.
Content can include metadata for use in templates, with Text::Xslate providing the templating engine. Sitebrew can also copy static assets and generate Atom feeds.
This is free and open source software.
