lbliii.github.io/bengal/repositorydocs
Bengal is a static site generator for documentation sites, blogs and other Markdown-based sites, written in Python. Pages are Markdown files in a content folder, rendered with Kida templates, and the production build writes the site to public/ as static HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
It is installed with pip install bengal. bengal new site creates a project, and bengal serve runs a dev server with live reload. The documentation covers configuration, content and deployment.
Worth knowing
Bengal requires Python 3.14 or later and is marked alpha in its README and on PyPI. The README lists Patitas (Markdown), Rosettes (syntax highlighting), Kida (templates) and Pounce (ASGI server) as parts of The Bengal Ecosystem, the stack the project belongs to.
