nanoc

It reads config, template, layout and content file holders like Markdown, Textile, Haml, etc. and generates a static website out of them.

nanoc generates simple HTML files which then can be directly send via a server to users.

nanoc can be used to power-up small personal blogs, portfolios, product web sites, and even can be packaged into a more complex CMS for additional and enhanced content management features.
