Zola
Zola is a static site generator that compiles Markdown and templates into a standalone website. It is distributed as a single binary, removing the need for external runtimes or package managers to build the final site.
The project includes a built-in Sass compiler to transform styles into compressed CSS and a dedicated Markdown rendering engine that supports task lists and footnotes. It also features a client-side search indexer, enabling full-text site search without a backend server, and a multilingual content manager for organizing translated content.
Additional capabilities cover asset optimization through automatic image processing and minification, as well as content organization using custom taxonomies, paged content, and web feeds. The development workflow includes a local server with live reloading and tools for validating internal and external links.
