<h1>Static Site Generator</h1>
2816+
<p>A static website generator combines a markup language, such as Markdown
2817+
or reStructuredText, with a templating engine such as
2818+
<a href="http://jinja.pocoo.org/">Jinja</a>, to produce HTML
2819+
files. The HTML files can be hosted and served by a
2820+
<a href="/web-server.html">web server</a> or
2821+
<a href="/static-content.html">content delivery network (CDN)</a>
2822+
without any additional dependencies such as a
2823+
<a href="/wsgi-server.html">WSGI server</a>.</p>
2824+
<h2>Why are static site generators useful?</h2>
2825+
<p>Static site generators allow a user to create HTML files by writing in a
2826+
markup language and coding template files. HTML does not need to be
2827+
maintained by hand other than what is in the template files.</p>
2828+
<p>For example, as shown in the diagram below, the Pelican static site
2829+
generator can take in reStructuredText files and Jinja2 template files
2830+
as input then combine them to output a set of static HTML files.</p>
2831+

<h2>Python static site generators</h2>
2833+
<p>Numerous static website generators exist in many different languages. The
2834+
ones listed here are primarily coded in Python.</p>

2840+

2841+
