A modern generator for old-school static sites. Under construction!

mdsite generates an HTML website from any tree of Markdown files.

@benchristel/mdsite on NPM

Create a directory for your project to live in:

mkdir my-first-mdsite
cd my-first-mdsite

Create a markdown file in a src directory:

mkdir src
cat <<<'
# Welcome to My Website
Pretty cool, right?
' > src/welcome.md

Compile it to HTML:

npx @benchristel/mdsite

mdsite will create a docs folder with the compiled HTML. You'll see a warning about a missing template file; that's okay.

Serve the website locally:

npx http-server -c-1 -o docs -p 8080

The site should open in your browser automatically. If it doesn't, visit http://localhost:8080.

npm install -g @benchristel/mdsite

After installing, you should be able to run mdsite anywhere.
