Tota is an elegantly simple static-site generator for all kinds of sites.
It’s targeted to help you create personal websites, side-projects, blogs, documentation, and more.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Pages – the most basic type of resource, usually devoid of any dates, and suitable for home pages, landing pages, and other stand-alone site pages. Pages are written in Markdown (.md) format.
- Posts – blogging is a popular use-case for static-site generators, and Tota makes it easy to create one. Posts are written in Markdown (.md) format and are stored in a separate top-level posts directory. Tota will convert these files to HTML and save them in the public directory when your site is built.
- Front matter – block of YAML at the beginning of a page file, ahead of any Markdown content.
Templates – define the HTML structure of your website and allow you to change its presentation and style. Tota uses the Mustache templating language, which works by substituting variable placeholders for real data. - Assets – static files that Tota doesn’t need to process. This includes images, CSS and JavaScript files.
- Deploy – creates static files that you can host anywhere, but provides a seamless, single-command deployment strategy to some preferred hosting providers.
