rs-webmark

A very minimal static site generator that converts Markdown to HTML files.

Use case

While developing my website, I went from a C# .NET Core implementation, then a C++ implementation. They included the full ordeal of features:

• Managing articles (CRUD)
• Users (for comments)
• Categories

In the end, I simply noted that, what I really wanted was a static website for I have no use for all those features. So I started doing the HTML pages manually.

After documenting my trip to Japan I noticed how tiresome it was to write the markup manually and how each page were basically structure similarly.

Markdown to the rescue

I personnally enjoy the Markdown-Preview Enhanced for Visual Studio Code which works flawlessly to take notes, so I decided to use markdown for the purpose of my website.

Of course, some static site generator already exists, such as:

• Hugo - Very complete but seems overwhelming for my use case.
• Cobalt - Pretty close to what I want but again, where's the fun if I cannot do it from scratch* myself ? :)

Disclaimer

I wouldn't recommend this for production use. This is mostly my own little project I cannot guarantee that I'll support even if my website is built on it.
