Simplified Saaze
Command-line flat-file CMS for simple websites and blogs, built with PHP and a small C part, with content written in Markdown files.
Simplified Saaze is a flat-file CMS for websites and blogs, and a simplified version of Saaze, the original project. It runs from the command line with no graphical interface. Content is kept in Markdown files, and templates are plain PHP and HTML.
It can generate static output: it reads Markdown files and writes fixed HTML files, which a web server serves without PHP. It can also generate pages on the fly, and then the web server runs PHP. The installation and usage guide covers both modes.
