Re: Org as a static site generator

Hi,

I am using o-blog for that, it is pretty great. One Org file for everything, and it actually splits it into one page per marked headline. You can use one of the headlines as a template for the nav section of the page, shared across all pages. (As you can tell from the name, it is intended as a blogging tool, but you don't have to use it that way ...)

The default template might not be to your taste (I don't like it at all, personally, so I made my own essentially from scratch) but you can customize it easily enough. And it might actually be close to what you are looking for.

I never quite managed to do that ... but it should definitely be doable.
