Nikola 7.7.4

A modular, fast, simple, static website and blog generator

In goes content, out comes a website, ready to deploy.

Why Static Websites?

Static websites are safer, use fewer resources, and avoid vendor and platform lock-in. You can read more about this in the Nikola Handbook

What Can Nikola Do?

It has many features, but here are some of the nicer ones:

• Blogs, with tags, feeds, archives, comments, etc.

• Themable

• Fast builds, thanks to doit

• Flexible, extensible via the dozens of available plugins

• Small codebase (programmers can understand all of Nikola core in a day)

• reStructuredText or Markdown as input language (also Wiki, BBCode, Textile, and HTML)

• Easy image galleries (just drop files in a folder!)

• Syntax highlighting for almost any programming language or markup

• Multilingual sites, translated to 18 languages.

• Doesn’t reinvent wheels, leverages existing tools.

• Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 compatible.
