wt 0.5.0

Static blog generator

# wt - static blog generator


[](https://travis-ci.org/ysegorov/wt)


## What

Pretty small and simplified static blog generator with following features:

- [markdown][markdown] for content
- [yaml][yaml] for configuration
- [jinja2][jinja2] for templating
- [atom][atom] for feed
- python's standard library `HTTPServer` as a development http server
- only two types of content - **page** and **post**
- content metadata lives in configuration file, configuration file can be
splitted into multiple nested files
- have sensible defaults for content sources
- no python coding needed to work with


## Why

While [pelican][pelican] is great and is full of features and [grow][grow] is
another one and looks very interesting in this field and there are a lot more
static site generators I wanted to create something easy to work with.

Hope someday somebody will find this library pretty usefull.


## How

### Requirements

The only hard dependency is **python3**.

### Installation

```shell
$ mkdir blog && cd blog
$ mkdir env && virtualenv -p python3 env && source ./env/bin/activate
$ pip install wt

```

### Bootstrapping

```shell
$ wt init .

```

### Configuration

Your blog must have configuration file written in [yaml][yaml] and named
**wt.yaml** (name can be changed).

### Usage

While writing content (ie in development mode):

```shell
$ wt develop

```

This command will start the development server listening at 127.0.0.1:9000.

When content is ready you will need to build it:

```shell
$ wt build

```
