Waffel

Static site generator that builds websites from Markdown files with YAML frontmatter and HTML views, run from a Node.js script.

Waffel is a static site generator for Node.js that builds a website from a well structured data folder of content and HTML views. The project publishes it as the npm package waffel, which a Node.js script requires to build the site. Its views use Nunjucks, and the documentation covers the options, events, helpers and filters. The homepage describes the output as static site generation and lists the localization of content among its features.

Worth knowing

The README recommends running Waffel with Brunch through a starter skeleton project.
