Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : sblg Version : 0.5.7 Upstream Author : Kristaps Dzonsons <krist...@bsd.lv> * URL : https://kristaps.bsd.lv/sblg/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : static blog utility
It's dead simple. > sblg is a utility for creating static blogs. It knits together > articles with templates to generate static HTML files, Atom feeds, and > JSON files. It's built for use with make(1). No PHP, no database: just > a simple UNIX tool for pulling data from articles and populating > templates. The ever so popular `jekyll` and `hugo` packages (available in Debian) are big, considerably even over-engineered static HTML site generators. They use Markdown for generating documents, instead of HTML that sblg uses. For an argument against Markdown, see: https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170304230520 Additionally, due to Markdown's syntax limitations, static generated blogs with `jekyll` or `hugo` might not be able to use HTML description lists and embed images, or they do with some Markdown extensions or by embedding HTML into the Markdown source. sblg has been actively maintained since 2014: https://kristaps.bsd.lv/sblg/archive.html The lowdown utility from the same upstream author is not required for sblg, but may compliment it to add Markdown translation support. The upstream's BSD.lv projects include other notable projects (for BSD), such as acme-client, openrsync and mandoc.
