## Notes

Ulka is a static site generator written in JavaScript. It builds HTML pages and assets from templates and content files. Templates can use ejs, pug or liquid, or Ulka's own template language.

A project starts with `npm init ulka`. `npx ulka` builds the site into the output directory set in `ulka-config.js`.

Plugin packages such as `@ulkajs/plugin-tags` extend the build.
