Eddi

Eddi is a static site generator.

It is written on top of Node.js and builds upon the framework pillr.

Features

• CommonMark (Markdown) syntax to generate HTML content.
• JSON front matter to define metadata for each page.
• Mustache to define layout templates.
• support for styling using Less.
• support for Markdown extensions: abbreviations, containers, definition lists, footnotes, subscript, and superscript.
• support for the LaTeX markup.
• no database, everything is contained in the metadata and the final file hiearchy mirrors the one used as the source.
• propagation of metadata to descendant files if specified at the directory level.
• command-line interface.
• async.

Default Theme

It has been designed to:

• focus on the content with a minimalist, distraction-free, design.
• display equally well on any device.
• adhere to the HTML5 standard and enforce strong HTML semantics (good for screen readers and SEO!).
• provide fast page loading times.
• implement both the Open Graph Protocol and the Twitter Card metadatas for improved sharing experience of articles over social networks.
