  Looks like the author has abandoned it, the last activity was in, and the issues say it doesn't work on Emacs 25. Looks interesting though.

I developed the ox-hugo[1] Emacs package, which allows exporting multiple posts (even the website structural pages like Home page, About page, etc.) from a single Org file. So here's the elevator pitch: - ox-hugo is an Emacs package that exports from Org mode to Markdown format that's compatible with Hugo (https://gohugo.io https://gohugo.io) / Blackfriday + automagically converts natural* Org metadata to TOML/YAML front-matter. - To understand what I mean by "natural" Org metadata, see this table[2]. - ox-hugo works with Hugo. I let each tool to do what they are best at: (i) Org mode deals with the rich markup (Org macros, INCLUDE, TOC, keywords, Org Babel, NoWeb, property/tag inheritance, etc.) and Emacs/Elisp processing, and (ii) Hugo deals with all the "Web stuff" in super-fast fashion (roughly 500 pages in less than a second [depends on your theme efficiency too]): Markdown->HTML conversion, generation of list pages, taxonomy pages, RSS/Atom/JF2/.. feeds, minification, cache busting, page generation using JSON/TOML/.. data, etc. - I prefer having most of the posts be exported from a single Org file (my blog[6] source[3]). So ox-hugo definitely supports that. It also supports the conventional flow of exporting each Org file to a single post too (I use that style too, for my "notes" posts). - The ox-hugo doc site[1] is dog-fooded by ox-hugo itself. Here's the single Org file[4] that holds the content for the entire site. --> Here are few Real World Examples[5] of people using ox-hugo + Hugo. == Refs == [1]: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/ https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/ [2]: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/org-meta-data-to-hugo-front-matter/#for-subtree-based-exports https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/org-meta-data-to-hugo-front-...

  Thank you for the write up and for the tool. I’ll be checking this out. I can’t remember anyone mentioning ox-hugo to me before, but that may be more an indictment of my memory :-)

  I really enjoy using ox-hugo to blog as well, it works very well and does everything that I need it to do! @kaushalmodi did a great job developing it

I created the not-so-imaginativel-named org-blog (https://github.com/ctindall/org-blog https://github.com/ctindall/org-blog), which is not a static generator -- it's a Python daemon that builds pages on the fly -- but it allows you to put all your posts in a single file.

  I think it is this[1], right? I think you should update the Worg: Org Blog Wiki[2] with it if you want more people to discover/use it. I liked the thoroughness of "why I made this project" in its README.
