alloypress

A Python static site generator which I use for my personal website.

Made using the Python Packaging User Guide.

Getting Started

Install via pip install alloypress.

Run the following Python code in the root directory of your site:

from alloypress import StaticSite

ssg = StaticSite()
ssg.generate()

An example of this can be seen in ./tests. It will take every .md file in ./raw and generate the HTML in ./.

Features

The high-level approach of alloypress is serve static HTML and CSS files, rendering nothing client-side.

It supports:

• Jon Gruber's original Markdown syntax via markdown
• LaTeX via latex2mathml inside $ and $$ delimiters
• Syntax highlighting for Python via pygments
• Sidenotes which are displayed inline on narrow devices
• Sortable and tag-filtered index page for each top-level folder
• Only re-generates HTML if the Markdown has been modified, and deletes orphaned HTML files

To Be Implemented

• Support for other languages via pygments
• Sidebar-based navigation
• Embedding-based search across all pages
• Post summaries on the index page via yaml frontmatter
• More coming soon...
