webgen is a fast, powerful and extensible static website generator.
Create a (or re-use an existing) website template, add a bunch of content files (in plain HTML or any markup language), throw in some assets and let webgen do the rest.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Generates a self-contained static website, i.e. all generated links are relative and no server is needed for viewing the website.
- Any markup language is supported – HTML, Haml, ERB, CSS, Sass, Markdown, Textile, RDoc, etc.
- Built-in helpers – tools to automatically generate menus, breadcrumb trails, news feeds and more.
- Partial website re-generation (only modified items get re-generated) saves you time when you work on your website.
- Extendable.
