Everone seems to be raving about Hugo so I'll give it a chance. Let's see how it goes. I did give a quick glance at the templating syntax and it certainly was easy to grasp. I haven't used Lisp so I'm not sure of how similar they are. Org mode support seems to be interesting. I've always wanted to pick that up as well. Could you share some good resources you might be aware of? A quick Google search led me to some really old articles. Thank you for bringing this up! I appreciate it :)

The good news is that you don't have to use Emacs for Org mode, if you plan to use Org mode just like Markdown (and may be a little bit more).

  That's pretty good. Can comprehend the syntax pretty easily. It also seems to be a tad bit similar to Jinja's syntax which I'm familiar with so this shouldn't be a problem at all. Thank you for the detailed explanation though. I appreciate it! I wasn't even aware that Emacs has a detailed reference built in for Org. Oh well! I should start using Emacs more I guess. And once again, thank you for all the links. The information dump is great, actually. I've got enough material to put things in place and start working with Org mode.
