STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Monkeyman is a Scala static web site generator that builds a site from source and layout directories and serves a live preview while files change. Layouts are written in HAML, Jade, SSP or Mustache, and content files carry YAML front matter.

The program is a jar that the README says to download and start with java -jar. Its server command gives the preview, and its generate command writes the static build into a target directory.

## Worth knowing

The repository has no release and no tag; the README points to the project wiki for downloads. The README says Monkeyman may no longer be maintained if another tool with the same feature set appears.
