FWIW, textproc/multimarkdown is pretty nice for static sites. https://torbsd.github.io is done in multimarkdown with a simple Makefile and some CSS. I also use multimarkdown to generate PDFs, via dblatex - always looks nice (but maybe I'm easier to please than you :-). Multimarkdown's simple extensions to markdown are all useful, no fluff. > > Thanks Pax, -A -- http://haqistan.net/~attila | att...@stalphonsos.com | 0x62A729CF
