> It has been built at a glacial pace, over a period of seven years, as my website expanded in content.<p>Three cheers for slow software. Thoughtful solutions are under-appreciated. I'm surprised how many junior devs I need to convince that the fact that programs like vi, emacs, make and TeX are 40+ years old is a _good_ thing.
I do not understand the point in these static site generators.<p>To me, the attractiveness of having a static website is that you get to choose the presentation appropriate to the particular content of each page. You can also automate some of the work in making those pages — generate a particular folder or preprocess some of the htmls — but static site generators seem to insist on running the whole thing.<p>If you are happy with a blog + a couple of similarly-formatted static pages, why not Wordpress?<p>Also: ‘minimalist’ generator with its own made-up markup format.
Not sure if you guys have heard about mathjax.js. Used to be a good one back in the days, when I used it.<p><a href="https://ranvir.xyz/mathjaxprogram.html" rel="nofollow">https://ranvir.xyz/mathjaxprogram.html</a><p><a href="https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax</a>
I use something similar but aimed for the documentation on projects I work on. Its a bundle of mkdocs, plantuml, matjax etc. available in docker container.<p><a href="https://github.com/majkinetor/mm-docs-template" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/majkinetor/mm-docs-template</a>
