You can find a host of examples, with source and live demo, at the champ-examples project.
I, too, really love the idea of pre-generated content pages as a way to make building a site much simpler. After a lot of investigation of other generators such as Jekyll and Metalsmith left me confused, I discovered champ. It suits my needs quite well, except it would stuff up my Markdown just a bit too often. So I decided I'd fix that by changing how it parses Markdown.
- Add automatic conversion of .sass files
