Description-en: web site builder using ReStructured Text as basic content format
rest2web is a simple tool that lets you build your website from a single
template (or as many as you want), and keep the contents in ReStructured Text
(docutils; you can still keep pages in HTML if needed). The prefix "rest"
does not in any way allude to the concept of "representational state
transfer."
.
The tool provides a host of features, for example:
.
* Automatically builds index pages and navigation links (sidebars and
breadcrumbs).
* Aids with the translation of the site to other languages.
* Embedded code in templates for unlimited expressiveness.
* Flexible macro system.
* Uses relative links, so sites can be viewed from the filesystem.
* Uses unicode internally.
* Built-in gallery creator plugin.
.
Adding new pages is as easy as dropping a text file into the right folder;
rest2web builds the new page and adds a link to it in the index (optionally
with a description as well). Removing a page is just as easy: delete the
file, and when you run rest2web again it removes the entry.
