A modular, fast, simple, static website and blog generator
Project description
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:
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, 3.4 and 3.5 compatible.
