A simple static site generator

Barium

A simple static site generator.
Jekyll is undocumented, and Flask feels a bit too bulky when all you need is a simple static site, so Barium aims to be the best of both worlds.

Barium generates static HTML pages from Markdown files and Jinja templates. And that's it. You get a folder of clean, static files and you can host them however and wherever you like. After all, it's a static site generator, not a static site deployer.

It also includes a really simple HTTP server to help you preview your site during development please don't use it in production.

Documentation

To get started, clone the repo and run pip install .. You can then just run barium build and barium serve.

Barium reads files from the source directory, processes them with templates from the templates directory, and saves the output HTML files in the build directory.
You can set which template to use in a file's front matter by setting the template to a file name (including file extension) property. If no template is provided, Barium tries to use default.jinja.
The templates can be every file extension that jinja supports. Inside the template, you can use the following variables through the page-dict:

• All front matter properties
• path: the complete path of the file
• slug: the name of the file
• content: the HTML-content of the page
