Brite is an innovative static website/blog generation utility which is as easy to use as it is versatile.
-
Site layout is 100% user-defined.
-
Can generate files in place, so no “special directories” are required.
-
Alternatively templated routes can customize the site organization.
-
Supports multi-format templates via Neapolitan template engine.
-
Supports many markup and templating formats via Malt or Tilt.
Very briefly, one creates ‘.page`, `.post`, `.part` and `.layout` files and then runs:
$ brite
Voila, website made!
Of course, the question really is: how does one go about creating ‘.page`, `.post`, `.part`, and `.layout` files and such. For information about that see the Brite website and see the Getting Started Tutorial.
For a quick start, have a look at the brite-site repository, which contains a generic Brite project anyone can use to start their own Brite Site.
To get further under the hood, see Brite source code in the GitHub hosted repository and read the API documentation.
$ gem install brite
If you’re old fashioned and want to install to a site location, see Setup.rb.
