Just use Hugo.
I want to but I haven't found one I like yet. too many of them are written by people still immersed in the web-dev world so they're implemented in JS or Ruby or some such crap, and come with a bunch of shit I don't want.

yes

displays a list of markdown files and links to html rendered output
doesn't fuck up my git repos
renders special chars with minimal bullshit
I made my own, works like a blog system.
It's just a file you drop into your github page repo, and it automatically discovers and render any markdown file you upload there. No need to install any external command/generate boilerplate or ""modern"", pain in the ass garbage like that.
I have no use for it since I don't have anything worthwhile to write about, nor anybody who would find such a blog to read it.
I gave up. I just write draft in markdown, convert it before publishing and then maintain plain HTML by hand.
Eww.
I'm using Hugo at the moment and I can say it's pretty comfy honestly. However, it falls into the complicated site if all you want is a bunch of markdown files converted to HTML. Furthermore, it has a bit of a learning curve to set up and understand what's going under the hood.
I've come several implemented in Python, Perl, Raku, etc. Two that have caught my attention are beetle (github.com
Is it under version control? If so, do you mind sharing it?
Thanks for the advice, user. Much appreciated ;-).
Damn, I fucked this up.
*I've come across several ones implemented...
>not writing HTML and CSS with your bear hands
My blog is just a git repo of markdown files. When I push a commit to it, a post-receive hook compiles them to HTML and updates the main-page index of the blog.
The only thing I have to do is write an article in markdown, commit it, and push it; then it's online. I really like the elegance of it and it's without any dependencies like github pages.
Keys big enough for paws?
Honetly, markdown is a fucking trash of a markup language and - with few exceptions - semantic HTML is quite comfy. I do the markdown phase first to get automatic table of contents (I'm lazy to write a simple script, yikes) and that's pretty much all

Literally just use org-mode and native HTML export you fucks. Is this Jow Forums or some kind of /fa/ or /mlp/
Native org-mode export sucks balls if you want to do anything fancy, configuring it so that you have consistent custom exports across platforms (i.e. in a fucking repo) is a nightmare. It really isn't the right tool for the job. There are pandoc exporters which are decent-ish but don't support the full feature set of the native pandoc tool. I ended up using a makefile to call pandoc on my site rather than using native emacs. Now I just use Hugo.
Yeah it is awful but its much more comfortable to write in than HTML.
I just lack so many figures in Markdown
>Are you using/Have you used a static site generator?
yes, I made the mistake to use jekyll. it's a fucking pain. fucking jekyll subhumans deprecate shit every 2 weeks so you can't have a stable jekyll installation to compile your pages. it's always some shit with that fucking piece of crap. but I guess that's what you get for using fucking rubyist software trash
>markdown is a fucking trash of a markup language
this. invented by a webtard macfaggot kike. fucking piece of shit dreck
i just use this dthompson.us
I did the markdown pandoc thing, I half wrote a custom one and started to realize this is more work than it is worth anything, now I just use Hexo. I don't use it for anything important though, just for personal site/projects
I just use pandoc to turn it in to a stand-alone HTML file, and because pandoc is smart enough to implement HTML tags as they are you can use them when needed.
I did start writing my own ksh script, but it takes about 5 seconds each update to make my site up-to-date because I use a hierarchical system like Gopher.
I'm taking a look into `saber` but didn't used it yet. I dropped Jekyll because it sucks.
I use based github.com
where is the C implementation?
Imagine being such a fucking brainlet you can't even write HTML.
HTML tags are arduous to write over the long term.
Not sure. ;-)
For most SSGs, you need to write some HTML. Although probably only once if the SSG uses some templating system (mustache, ninja, etc.). Given that , why not minimize the need to write them?
Org mode
