Prologue
Welcome to the Maudit documentation! Maudit (pronounced /mo.di/, meaning cursed in French) is a static site generator.
Static site generators are tools that take a collection of files and convert them into a website, once in a build step. This is in contrast to dynamic websites, which are generated on-the-fly by a server. Other similar tools include Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, Eleventy, Zola and many more.
Maudit aims to be a simple and easy-to-use static site generator, nothing more. We hope that you'll find it useful for your projects, and we're excited to see what you'll create with it!
Audience
This documentation assumes basic knowledge of web development (e.g. HTML and CSS) and Rust. If you are new to web development, we recommend checking out the MDN Web Docs and for Rust, the Rust Book.
Having said that, we do try to make the documentation approchable for beginners, and concepts will generally be explained as they are introduced.
