Package: markata
Markdown to site, plugins all the way downA static site generator that will give you a great site with many standard web
features like rss, sitemaps, and seo tags, out of the box. Runningmarkata buildwill get you a that only requires you to write Markdown. If you have
additional features that you want, don't worry, since markata is built
completely on plugins you can develop and install your own plugins to add the
features you want.This has been a pet project for me to learn library development, plugin
driven design, diskcache, and more.  It is the core of what builds my own sitewaylonwalker.com.DisclaimerMake sure that you pin down what version of markata you want to use.  If you
are starting a new project that's probably the latest version frompypi.  Things are likely to change in major
releases, I do my best to document them, and not to break patches.QuickStartMarkata is fully configurable through amarkata.tomlfile, but the defaults
allow to build your site right out of the box with nothing more than Markdown.Installationmarkatais hosted on pypi and can be installed using pip.python-mpipinstallmarkataCreate Some ContentMake some.mdfiles in your current working directory. By default,markatawill recursively look in all subdirectories for markdown files**/*.md.mkdirpagesecho'# My First Post'>first-post.mdecho'# Hello World'>hello-world.mdThis example shows how you can build a site from only a single markdown
file.Build your siteInstall markata into your virtual environment and runmarkata build. It will
create your site in./markout, leave its cache in./.markata.cache, and
copy all assets from./staticinto./markoutby default.python-mpipinstallmarkata

to fill in the jinja variables in this repo.markatanewblog[directory]# start the site and watch for changeshatchruntuiNow if you open localhost:8000, you will be presented with an example site that
will walk you through some features of markata. You can play with it at
your own pace, or drop all the pages and start writing your own content.MotivationMarkata is able to build your site purely from Markdown, allowing you to get
started creating your own content quickly. Out of the box it will cover your
seo tags, rss feeds, sitemap, and og images. Since it is built completely from
plugins you can remove, modify, or add to any of its behavior.configurablepluginsseorsssitemapog-imageUsing MarkataThe docs are still a work in progress, but thebase_cliwalks through how to
effectively use themarkata buildcommand. At this point Markata is far from
stable andwill change quite a bit, should you choose to use it on real
site make sure you pin to the version that you want to build from. I will let
you know as it becomes more stable and ready to use without diligence of
pinning to the version you want.HonestlyA big motivation for me was wanting to learn and understand how to
create a project that is completely plugin driven. This is highly a learning
project for me, and it has grown into something I use every day.Examples GallaryMarkata has a project gallery to show off sites built with markata. Pleasesubmityours, and check
