Monkeyman
Scala static website generator that builds pages from HAML, Markdown and other layout and content files.
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.
