Quilt

What is quilt? — another static site generator

Generate a static site via python from content-only html and markdown pages that are stitched together along with patch (e.g. nav.html, footer.html) files onto a main site quilt.html file. http://tmthydvnprt.github.io/quilt

Why?

Cause there's a bunch of other static site generators already!

Because I wanted...

1. specific features
2. something I didn't see in others
3. to improve python fluency
4. homegrown customization

Notable features

• focus on page content, site features (head, navbar, footer) are written & stored separately
• write content in html or markdown
• extensible markdown for custom needs
• LaTeX Support
• unique template overrides in each directory
• automatically fill alt/img attributes, and remove empty tags
• automatically vendorize, minimize, & combine css and js files
• automatically create certain files (robot.txt, sitemap.xml, multiple sized favicons, etc.)
• provide some dynamic blogy abilities (reverse chronology, tags, categories)
• create atom/rss feeds
• index the text of final site for searching (e.g. with typeahead)
• potential for nltk integration
• spell checking
• Check out all the features and what's coming up on the features+todo page.
• parallel processing
• git integration (pull modify dates from repo commits)
• any ideas?
