Carew

Static site and blog generator that builds Markdown pages into HTML with Twig layouts.

Carew is a static site and blog generator written in PHP, forked from Balrog. Pages and blog posts are Markdown files that start with a YAML front matter block, and Twig layouts render them into HTML. The project is installed with Composer through a boilerplate project, and its build command fills a web directory that any static web server can host.

Worth knowing

The README states that the project is dead and suggests another static site generator instead. The repository is archived on GitHub, and the Packagist package is marked abandoned.
