For those of you who have a personal blog, what tools do you use to generate the static webpages? There are so many static website generators these days. What are the simplest and most flexible solutions?
One solution is to write HTML directly, perhaps with the aid of some templating tool (m4 macros?). Another solution is to write in Markdown, and generate the HTML using a Markdown to HTML conversion tool (e.g. cmark), Makefiles, and perhaps some shell scripts. Yet another possible solution is to write the contents of the blog as s-expressions, and write a Lisp program to transform the s-expressions into HTML files.
