Questions tagged [wintersmith]

Wintersmith is a simple yet flexible static site generator. It takes contents (markdown, less, scripts, etc), transforms them using plugins and outputs a static website (html, css, images, etc) that you can host anywhere. It ships with plugins for markdown and jade templates, if you need something else check the plugin listing or write your own! It is written in Javascript/Coffeescript and for use with NodeJS.
