Cambium, A Light Touch Markdown Static Site Generator

A Python-based static site generator for repositories of organized markdown pages.

This package is under active development and is pre-alpha. Please use with caution.

Why Use Cambium?

• Do you have a bunch of markdown files that you'd like to turn into a static site?
• Do you want to create a rapidly-changing wiki, knowledge base or documentation site that can be hosted without worrying about server requirements?
• Do you want to manage your documents using tools you already know and love
• Do you want to store your source files in a git repository, a directory on Dropbox, OneDrive, or other place that you can just have files?
• Do you want to be able to customize the look-and-feel of your generated site in a simple fashion?
• Do you want to avoid lock-in to a specific site generator?

Design Principles

Cambium is built on the following design principles:

• You should be able to organize your markdown documents in whatever way you'd like
• Your markdown repository should not have to know that it is being used by Cambium
• Cambium-specific features or macros should be clean and obvious in the markdown
• Cambium should be able to work elegantly on a repository of markdown documents with no configuration
• Your final deployment destination should not matter

Installation Instructions

To install Cambium, run:

pip install cambium
