A tool to generate a static blog from reStructuredText or Markdown input files.
Project description
Pelican
Pelican is a static site generator, written in Python.
Write your weblog entries directly with your editor of choice (vim!) in reStructuredText or Markdown
Includes a simple CLI tool to (re)generate the weblog
Easy to interface with DVCSes and web hooks
Completely static output is easy to host anywhere
Features
Pelican currently supports:
Blog articles and pages
Comments, via an external service (Disqus). (Please note that while useful, Disqus is an external service, and thus the comment data will be somewhat outside of your control and potentially subject to data loss.)
Theming support (themes are created using Jinja2 templates)
PDF generation of the articles/pages (optional)
Publication of articles in multiple languages
Atom/RSS feeds
Code syntax highlighting
Import from WordPress, Dotclear, or RSS feeds
Integration with external tools: Twitter, Google Analytics, etc. (optional)
Have a look at the Pelican documentation for more information.
Why the name “Pelican”?
“Pelican” is an anagram for calepin, which means “notebook” in French. ;)
