maml

maml is a static website generator taking markdown and yaml as input.

maml is short for "markdown yaml" and pronounced as ['mɑːmel].

Chinese name is 马猫儿.

Features

Inspired by Ruby on Rails

• The folder structure is very similar to Ruby on Rails: assets, controllers, models, views.
• Convention over configuration.

Simple and easy to use

• Every page is a folder on disk, and every folder contains two files: index.md and index.yml.
• Configurations files could inherit, thus you don't need to specify everything for each page.
• It works out of the box.

Flexible

• If you are a developer and you can change the things in controller and views, then you can gain infinite flexibility.
• It could be as flexible as Ruby on Rails(without those dynamic features since it is a static website generator).
