Pillr

Pillr is a framework to build static site generators upon.

The framework is designed to only contain the core components and architecture of a static site generator. It is up to the user to extend Pillr with the desired features to build a fully-fledged static site generator.

Features

• CommonMark (Markdown) syntax to generate HTML content.
• JSON front matter to define metadata for each page.
• Mustache to define layout templates.
• support for styling using LESS.
• support for Markdown extensions: abbreviations, containers, definition lists, footnotes, subscript, and superscript.
• no database, everything is contained in the metadata and the final file hiearchy mirrors the one used as the source.
• propagation of metadata to descendant files if specified at the directory level.
• theme-based.
• async.

Pillr ships with 3 base compounds to copy asset files, and to generate pages or styles.

A compound defines a serie of components that transforms the source files into the final result to be written at a given destination. They are extensible and customizable.
