Static site generator with two template tags, include and is, for reusing HTML partials across the pages of a site.

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

Brace Tags is a static site generator written in Python with an own template language of two tags, `include` and `is`. `include` inserts a partial file into a page, and `is` changes the content of a partial depending on the page being generated, which is useful for marking the current item in a navigation. `tags build` writes the site to a `_site` folder that can be deployed to any static site host, and `tags serve` starts a local server for testing. Custom tags can be added as Python functions. The README describes installation with easy_install.

## Worth knowing

The latest PyPI release is more than four years old, so the register hides this record. The project's former site, tags.brace.io, no longer shows the software.
