## Notes

Slick is a static site generator written and configured in Haskell. It provides tools for building static websites on top of the Shake build system, reads content through Pandoc and renders Mustache templates. The Quick Start sends readers to the slick-template repository, which is cloned and built with stack. The template writes its output to a docs folder that GitHub Pages can serve.

## Worth knowing

The slick repository has no release tag, so the version on record is the Hackage package slick. The install and build steps come from the template, not from the repository.
