(spoiler: its XSLT) I've been working on a little demo for how to avoid copy-pasting header/footer boilerplate on a simple static webpage. My goal is to approximate the experience of Jekyll/Hugo but eliminate the need for a build step before publishing. This demo shows how to get basic templating features with XSL so you could write a blog post which looks like <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/template.xsl"?> <page> <title>My Article</title> <content> some content <ul> <li>hello</li> <li>hello</li> </ul> </content> </page> Some properties which set this approach apart from other methods: - no build step (no need to setup Jekyll on the client or configure Github/Gitlab actions) - works on any webserver (e.g. as opposed to s
