corvid
corvid is an opinionated simple static site generator.
It processes Markdown files, static assets and directories producing a 1:1 hierarchy of compiled content.
It includes a reloadable local development server, supports custom markdown frontmatter and Jinja templates.

$ corvid [OPTIONS]
For help:
$ corvid --help

-l, --listen Enable live reloading

Example
Given the following directory layout:
├── input
│ └── index.md
└── templates
└── default.html
With the following file contents:
input/index.md
---
title: This is the Index
---
Welcome
templates/default.html
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
{{ content }}
</body>
</html>Running corvid will produce the additional output directory:
.
├── input
│ └── index.md
├── output
│ └── index.html
└── templates
└── default.html
And the contents of the file will be:
output/index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Welcome</p>
</body>
</html>Using templates
Custom templates can be set by specifying the path to the template (inside the templates directory) as the template frontmatter in an individual page. See bar.md for an example.
See /example for the full input -> template -> output folder structure.
