Sasha — Static Site Generator

April 2025

A simple system for writing articles and generating sites that are effortless to maintain.

Markdown articles & folder directories are rendered into HTML templates.

Template System

The template system assembles template fragments into a final layout.

Use .frag.html fragment HTML files for templates.

Layout templates are used to render both article & directory pages.

Layouts follow a hierarchal order to building a final HTML page.

Articles are converted to HTML using Pandoc.

The template system assembles fragments and injects them into the layout.frag.html Layout Template file.

The final output is a self-contained HTML page.

The template system uses {{ }} Replacement Tags to inject content into template fragments.

<!-- Layout Template -->
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
{{HEAD}}
{{BODY}}
{{FOOTER}}
</html>

The project README contains complete documentation for the template system.
