At a minimum, static site generators create indexes, table-of-contents, tags, sorts by date, and other such features.
Pretty much no one writes good, raw, HTML these days. Documentation is written Sphinx, texinfo, docbook, and many other formats. Why? Because compiling chapters (or pages) together through static analysis is a very useful pattern for writing.
HTML is just an output pattern. Your actual words should be in a document generator at a minimum.
- notpushkin 4y agoMy website [1] is good raw (X)HTML [2]. It's just a couple of pages though, nothing fancy. If I was keeping a blog or something, I would definitely go for an SSG.
