static blog compiler with incremental updates

Project description

Acrylamid is a mixture of nanoc, Pyblosxom and Pelican licensed under BSD Style, 2 clauses.

Build Status

Why?

  • it is fast due incremental builds

  • support for Jinja2 and Mako templates

  • many Markdown extensions and custom reStructuredText directives

  • MathML, enhanced typography and hyphenation using soft-hyphens

Oh, and it can also generate a static blog with articles, static pages, tags, RSS/Atom feeds (also per tag) and an article overview.

Overview

supported markup languages

  • Markdown and additional extensions (support for MathML, deletion/insertion, sub- and supscript, syntax highlighting …)

  • reStructuredText with directives for syntax highlighting and youtube video embedding

  • textile, discount, all dialects supported by pandoc and plain HTML

You miss one? Extend Acrylamid in less than 30 LoC!

other filters

  • support for Jinja2 and Mako directly in postings (before they get processed)

  • typography (and smartypants)

  • TeX hyphenation

  • summarize ability

  • acronym detection that automatically replace acronyms and abbreviations

blogging features

  • you like the YAML front matter from Jekyll or nanoc? First choice in Acrylamid!

  • coming from Pelican? Acrylamid has also support for metadata in the native format of Markdown or reStructuredText.

  • support for translations (oh, and did I mention the language dependend hyphenation feature?)

  • a few HTML5/XHTML themes, see Theming.

  • internal webserver with automatic compiling when something has changed.

  • assets management, including LESS and SASS conversion.

  • uni-directional PingBack support.

what is missing

Quickstart

easy_install -U acrylamid

This installs Acrylamid with Jinja2 as templating engine. For Mako use easy_install -U acrylamid --mako. This installs two additional but not required dependencies: Markdown and translitcodec. To get a list of all supported modules, head over to additional supported modules.

Initialize the base structure, edit conf.py and layouts/ and compile with:

$ acrylamid init myblog
    create  myblog/conf.py
    ...
$ cd myblog/
$ acrylamid compile && acrylamid view
    create  [0.05s] output/articles/index.html
    create  [0.37s] output/2012/die-verwandlung/index.html
    create  [0.00s] output/index.html
    create  [0.00s] output/tag/die-verwandlung/index.html
    create  [0.00s] output/tag/franz-kafka/index.html
    create  [0.03s] output/atom/index.html
    create  [0.04s] output/rss/index.html
    create  [0.00s] output/sitemap.xml
    create  output/style.css
