Templer is a static site generator.
It makes use of the HTML::Template module for performing variable expansion within pages and layouts, along with looping and conditional-statement handling.
This is free and open source software.
It uses the following concepts:
- A site is made up of “pages” and “assets”.
- A “page” is processed to build HTML output.
- An “asset” is copied from the input-directory to the output-directory with zero changes.
The input pages can be written in Textile, Markdown, or plain HTML – the latter being useful if you’ve just switched from doing things “by hand”.
