I need to build a simple static web site. Previously in the past I've played around with StaticMatic <http://staticmatic.rubyforge.org/> and found it quite good.
Howeve the version number does not seem to have changed for a while and you are tied to HAML, not that that is a bad thing, its just it would be nice to be able to use other template languages.
I've also read an article here by Tom Preston-Werner <http://tom.preston-werner.com> about his tool Jekyll <http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/tree/master>. It looks very interesting, has anybody used it? Is it more blog orientated, by that I mean is it harder to use it for a different context?
Finally I did a Google search and found this tool: <http://webgen.rubyforge.org/>. Again has anyone used it or got any comments about it.
My requirements are to create a simple 4 page site where the content isn't going to change that often. I would like to use Markdown / Textile / Haml / ERB. I also like code to be clean and efficient therefore the HTML generator should be pretty small and easy to use. Ideally I'd like to use Ruby and Ruby gems, but I'm not fussy.
Anyway I'd appreciate your input. Many thanks,
Ben Emson...
