Cambium

A Light Touch Markdown Static Site Generator


status: pre-alpha Currently available on PyPI List of compatible Python versions MIT licensed

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

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

Running Cambium

To run Cambium, in a folder containing Markdown documents, run:

cambium

This will create a _build directory, containing the output HTML. The contents of this folder can be uploaded to any web server or displayed locally.
