To my mind, the two are the same. To generate something is to create it. So generating content is the same as creating/authoring content. The site is then generated from the content. It looks like your phrase "content generation" is what I would call "site generation". Or equally, you are thinking of "site content" whereas I am thinking of information content, i.e. the content of APT, XML or Markdown files. > ... > >> > and cannot generate sites consisting of multiple versions of >> > the same artifact. >> >> AIUI the multiple sites issue is more about svnpubsub, though >> > > No, it is not about svnpubsub at all.
