Motyl
Ruby blog-aware static site generator that builds posts and pages from Markdown with Mustache templates.
Motyl is a Ruby blog-aware static site generator that builds posts and pages from Markdown files with logic-less Mustache templates. The README lists syntax highlighting with Rouge, custom URLs built from file names, several categories per post and an Atom feed.
Running motyl writes the posts and pages into a public directory and copies the static assets. The README names kramdown, mustache and rouge as the gems it requires.
Worth knowing
The README documents the required gems but no step for installing motyl itself; it points to an examples directory as the starting point. Themes are separate repositories, and the README’s example is Chrysalide.
