• cmark

  10 1,562 8.7 C

  CommonMark parsing and rendering library and program in C

  

I just use the small reference C implementation of CommonMark and it works great:

https://github.com/commonmark/cmark

There is an example where you load it via shared library in Python, i.e. send a Markdown string and get back an HTML string.

• redo

  2 1,761 0.0 Python

  Smaller, easier, more powerful, and more reliable than make. An implementation of djb's redo.

I use something very similar on my website, except with a few twists - CSS, MultiMarkdown (instead of Markdown) for HTML, Perl for piping MultiMarkdown produced HTMLs through some "sed" changes, and redo instead of Make for rebuilds.

If you are looking for Make replacement - I strongly suggest taking a look at redo: https://github.com/apenwarr/redo

  my website

Thanks! I am using MDX for the articles. I don't really like it though. MDX is fiddly and causes some headaches here and there. I am exploring other options.

The MDX files are here: https://github.com/city41/mattgreer.dev/tree/main/pages/arti...

And I just now wrote a new post about how I did the static HTML: https://mattgreer.dev/articles/how-i-built-this-static-site-...

I've found a nice middleground to be writing a custom static site generator for each site. They can be quite small (here's one[0] in ~50 lines). Usually it just loops through a directory and turns Markdown files into HTML (with header injected), and syntax highlighting.

Also, if you're really committed, you might be surprised how app-like you can make HTML+CSS, using things like checkbox and :target hacks[1]. The UI demoed in the video on this site[2] has no JS. These techniques pretty much require a generator, and there are obviously tradeoffs.

• wordpress-to-html

  1 2 0.0 HTML

  Download your wordpress blog locally and clean it up to pure HTML+CSS

Never again I will touch XSLT. That's how I dumped my wordpress to HTML. I regretted it. https://github.com/steren/wordpress-to-html

• naberhausj.com

  1 2 6.5 HTML

  My personal webiste

I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment and have elected for the same thing on my website. The only difference is that I wrote a simple template based static site generator (https://github.com/JosephNaberhaus/naberhausj.com/tree/maste...) to keep my HTML sources in accordance with DRY.

What I don't understand is how the linked page is downloading 1 MB of resources which unpack to nearly 2 MB. This page shouldn't need more than 100 KB.

  Discontinued Personal website (by karoliskoncevicius)

I made the files public temporarily: https://github.com/karoliskoncevicius/website

My website is probably a lot simpler than yours. All the "do" files are at the root level. But I have to state that there is no "redo" syntax really. You just take the scripts that do things and save them to files with a "do" extension.
