Quartz
Quartz is a markdown static site generator and digital garden framework designed to transform collections of markdown notes into public websites. It functions as a wiki engine that converts structured documents into a functional site through a configurable build pipeline.
The system specializes in personal knowledge management by visualizing the relationships between notes via backlinks and a bidirectional connection graph. It implements a single-page application model to provide dynamic page transitions and browser URL updates without full page refreshes.
The toolset covers content relationship visualization, full-text site search, and the generation of navigation structures such as breadcrumbs and site explorers. It supports specialized markdown dialects, including mathematical formulas, and provides a system for managing page metadata and visual themes.
