Static Site Generators

Jekyll seems to migrate from WordPress. I wonder if anything generates from it actively.

I have seen plugins that do. But have not used them.

I've started using this now, and it's been great.

Does it have any LaTeX support? I'll check it out this afternoon.

I would guess "no", but I have no real idea.

What are you using for this today?

Looks like adding Katex to Jekyll will do it...

I'm using wordpress. It actually has a little on its on but I use a plugin from Mathjax for more flexibility. Publii and others like it let you do a little through markdown but its a weird form of LaTeX and I would rather just use the real thing.

I will check those out. I like the static generator because really for most blogs wordpress is too much horse and not needed. Ive used it for years just fine and its not a big deal but it would save some money.

Yeah it's been great for me too with basic default setup.
The issues I'm having is getting themes to work. It's complicated, and I'm not having any luck.
The 3 steps to use another gem based theme are super duper simple, but they just aren't working. I can't figure it out, so I may give up and stick with WP because I just don't have much time.

How easily the themes work is part of what i like. You just download a theme, unzip it, and away you go. You actually just start from inside the theme, you don't add the theme to anything.

Start of the first site that I made with a Jekyll theme...

OH, that's what I'm doing wrong then. I didn't try that way. I tried the gem method.

Yeah, I did too at first. Then I looked it up and figured out it was so easy that I was overlooking what to do because it was SO easy that it never occurred to me.

I honestly don't understand how Jekyll could be easier than Hugo.

Maybe we're both having the same issue with Hugo that something is so easy to use that we are overlooking it and trying to make it harder than it is.

Maybe. The workflow is almost identical to Jekyll. But it's faster building and you don't need to set up a ruby environment.

Can you start with a theme and just begin working from inside of it?
