Using gitit to generate static non-wiki web site

[LUK ShunTim]

Hi,

I have a directory tree of markdown files (not necessarily wiki source
files) and would like to generate a static web site out of it. What
would be the best workflow to do such a thing? Or gitit is not really
the best tool? Or maybe just use pandoc?

Regards,
ST

Have you looked at Hakyll?

It would be a nice add-on to gitit to be able to generate
a static site from it, but the code would have to be written.

yst is a static site generator I wrote that uses pandoc.

But for most sites, I just use pandoc, pandoc templates, and
a Makefile.

+1 for pandoc. I use pandoc and a shell script to generate my site:

I'd love to see Gitit enable more general CMS functionality, like serving static pages and only having a subset of the site be a wiki. A moderated edits feature to allow edit suggestions that require approval would be really cool as well. Wordpress is an example of a general CMS/blog engine that would be great to have similar functionality from Gitit since Wordpress also has a revision history of all pages.

I think most of these features are either possible now or possible with a little
coding with gitit2: https://github.com/jgm/gitit2 since gitit2 is just a yesod component
so all the other yesod features can come into play and you can easily create
more complex websites with a wiki component.

One possibly more complex option is something built on

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wai-static-pages

and some of the code from

http://www.yesodweb.com/book/wiki-chat-example
