Zero-config static site generator for dev blogs

Overview

md2blog is a zero-config static site generator specifically designed for developer blogs. It allows developers to easily convert their self-contained and organized set of Markdown posts into a fully functional static blog without requiring any configuration. md2blog focuses on simplicity and ease of use, allowing developers to concentrate on creating and publishing content.

Features

  • Self-contained and organized: md2blog supports relative links between Markdown files, including anchors. These links are validated at build time. Additionally, posts are implicitly categorized based on the directory structure, with the option to add supplemental tags if desired.
  • Minimal, but fully functional: The produced site uses clean and semantic HTML templates with minimal CSS (few kilobytes only), and no JavaScript. Relative links are used wherever possible, allowing the site to be hosted anywhere. Syntax highlighting is automatically added to code blocks, and an Atom feed is automatically generated.
  • Zero configuration: md2blog is highly opinionated, eliminating the need for extensive configuration. Instead, the focus is on writing and publishing content, rather than tweaking options and themes.

Summary

Its key features include support for relative links between Markdown files, implicit categorization based on directory structure, minimal and fully functional site templates, syntax highlighting, and Atom feed generation. md2blog eliminates the need for extensive configuration, allowing developers to focus solely on creating and publishing content.
