static blog compiler with incremental updates
Project description
Acrylamid is a mixture of nanoc, Pyblosxom and Pelican licensed under BSD Style, 2 clauses. It is actively developed at https://github.com/posativ/acrylamid/.
Why?
it is really fast due incremental builds
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), article listing and a sitemap.
Why the name “Acrylamid”?
I’m studying bioinformatics and I was experimenting with Acrylamide at this time. I’m really bad at naming. If you have a better name, please tell me! Two requirements: reasonably speakable and tab-completion after 3 characters.
Overview
With Acrylamid you can write your weblog entries with your editor of choice in Markdown, reStructuredText or textile. With several content filters you can pimp your HTML (typography, math, hyphenation). Acrylamid provides a very sophisticated CLI and integrates perfectly with any DVCes. It generates completely static HTML you can host everywhere.
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, reStructuredText and even Pandoc.
support for translations (oh, and did I mention the language dependend hyphenation feature?).
a few HTML5 themes, see Theming.
internal webserver with automatic compiling when something has changed.
uni-directional PingBack support.
static site search.

No comments. You have to use Disqus or this approach.
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.
If you rather use non-ascii characters, you’re better off with:
easy_install -U acrylamid python-magic unidecode
Initialize the base structure, edit conf.py and layouts/ and compile with:
$ acrylamid init myblog # --mako, defaults to --jinja2
create myblog/conf.py
...
$ cd myblog/
$ acrylamid compile && acrylamid view
