For ~100K authors with content on Github Pages, Liquid conformance avoids learning new template syntax or a programming language. For a greenfield site where Jekyll/Liquid compatibility is not beneficial, Zola may be an option, https://github.com/getzola/zola

I know this is for a non-technical admin, but I just wanted to give Zola [0] a shoutout. I love the single binary approach, and it being so simple. Got my blog up and running in minutes with absolutely minimal configuration. Helps me focus on the writing rather than tinkering with the tool I think this coupled with Keystatic [1] could be a nifty little lightweight setup for most.

I write in Markdown and use Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) to convert for publishing via GitHub Pages.

Thanks, it's generated with Hugo using the https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod theme. However, I made some modifications to the theme for the first time recently, and learned that I absolutely hate Hugo's templating language. I might switch away at some point in the future (perhaps to https://github.com/getzola/zola -- the templating is Jinja2-esque).

I use Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) - pretty fast and I was able to customize a few things as well.

Proper footnotes have now landed! https://github.com/getzola/zola/commit/6a2b890545398bb21cab5...

I'm currently using Zola, but a recent HN article reminded me to try Soupault along with Pandoc. Soupault is more geared to the use of external tools and plugins, which can make it more complicated. But if you already know the tools you're going to hook up to it, it's easier in the end. - https://github.com/PataphysicalSociety/soupault - https://github.com/getzola/zola

I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

You're welcome :) I finally found out what was going wrong here. All angle brackets and other characters were being escaped in other parts of the document, even in <code></code> blocks. Except when it came to code blocks inside <pre></pre> blocks. For context, I use Zola and Cloudflare pages. It turns out there is a bug[^0] in Zola 1.40.0 which reads: > Fix code blocks content not being escaped when not using syntax highlighting I presume that this is the culprit, as I use an external syntax highlighting library. Cloudflare Pages has been famously sluggish with updating the Zola version. For reference, 1.14.0 was released in July 2021. This explains why everything was working fine on my machine™. Thanks for pointing this out, though I unsure how to work around it without changing my setup. [^0]: https://github.com/getzola/zola/blob/master

zola + free oracle tier for me https://github.com/getzola/zola

https://github.com/piranha/gostatic & https://github.com/getzola/zola are two other single binary alternatives.
