Static website generator
Project description
Page, a static website generator
- creates a well organized website with clear navigation reflecting the folder structure of source text documents
- fast, well compressed, mobile friendly pages
- feed and sitemap files for your subscribers and search engines
Writers love distraction free conventional plain text formatting. Template designers love the easy to read, beautiful and powerful template language.
Installation and run
Page is a small command line program written in Python programming language. It requires python installed, which lets user install Page on any platform in a single command.
pip3 install page
By default, Page will collect all text files in current folder and create a HTML website in a static folder using default templates.
page
User can run Page with custom options like so:
page --source /markdown/source/folder/\
--target /target/folder/\
--tpl /custom/template/folder/\
--ctx "{'site_name': 'My Site', 'site_url': 'https://example.org'}"\
--ext .htm
Users are encouraged to create their own
./page.py
with custom options to use instead of provided page command line program.
Batteries included
Minimal default template.
Page has lots of tests including one importing an existing HTML site, converting it to source markdown files and then back into a static HTML site in full circle. This code can inspire users to convert existing static site or one powered by a slow Content Management System to simple markdown powered static site and maintain it with Page.
Programmers using Djagno Web Framework can make their sites faster and less demanding using static cache generation helpers provided, see static.py.
