Markata is a fully plugins all the way down static site generator for folks who just want their site to get started quickly and build great content, with the ability to tinker with everything under the hood if they want to.
QuickStart
Markata is fully configurable through a markata.toml file, but the defaults
allow to build your site right out of the box with nothing more than markdown.
Create Some Content
mkdir pages
cd pages
echo '# My First Post' > first-post.md
echo '# Hello World' > hello-world.md
Build your site
pip install markata
markata build
# or if pipx is your thing
pipx run markata build
Frontmatter
You will likely want to set things like title, date, description,
status, or template per post, this can all be done inside yaml frontmatter.

This is my awesome post.
Frontmatter is not required, but definitely gives you more control over your site.
