# Wintersmith

Static site generator that transforms Markdown and other content through plugins into a static website, with Pug templates by default.

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

Wintersmith is a static site generator distributed as the npm package `wintersmith`. Its contents directory holds the raw material of a site, templates render it, and the output is a static website that can be hosted anywhere. The default page plugin renders Markdown with Pug templates. The repository is on GitHub, and its README and wiki hold the documentation.

## Worth knowing

The project website named in the README does not resolve, so the record has no homepage and the README and the GitHub wiki are the documentation that remains.
