rest2web

web site builder using ReStructured Text as basic content format

rest2web is a simple tool that lets you build your website from a single template (or as many as you want), and keep the contents in ReStructured Text (docutils; you can still keep pages in HTML if needed). The prefix "rest" does not in any way allude to the concept of "representational state transfer." The tool provides a host of features, for example: * Automatically builds index pages and navigation links (sidebars and breadcrumbs). * Aids with the translation of the site to other languages. * Embedded code in templates for unlimited expressiveness. * Flexible macro system. * Uses relative links, so sites can be viewed from the filesystem. * Uses unicode internally. * Built-in gallery creator plugin. Adding new pages is as easy as dropping a text file into the right folder; rest2web builds the new page and adds a link to it in the index (optionally with a description as well). Removing a page is just as easy: delete the file, and when you run rest2web again it removes the entry.
