Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. It takes a template
|
|
directory containing raw text files in various formats, runs it through
|
|
[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (or
|
|
[Textile](http://redcloth.org/textile)) and
|
|
[Liquid](http://wiki.shopify.com/Liquid)
|
|
converters, and spits out a complete, ready-to-publish static website suitable
|
|
for serving with your favorite web server. Jekyll also happens to be the engine
|
|
behind [GitHub Pages](http://pages.github.com), which means you can use Jekyll
|
|
to host your project’s page, blog, or website from GitHub’s servers **for
|
|
free**.
