Wintersmith

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

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.
