DocPad is a dynamic static site generator built on Node.js that streamlines web development by allowing use of layouts, meta‑data, templating preprocessors (Markdown, Jade, CoffeeScript, etc.), partials, skeletons, file‑watching, querying, and a rich plugin system for building powerful static sites quickly. Completely file based, meaning there are no pesky databases that need to be installed, and for version control you get to use systems like Git and SVN, which you're already used to. Write your documents in any language, markup, templating engine, or pre-processor you wish (we're truly agnostic thanks to your plugin system). You can even mix and match them when needed by combining their extensions in a rails-like fashion.

Features

  • Supports layouts, metadata, pre‑processors (Markdown, Jade, CoffeeScript)
  • Enables partials and skeleton (scaffold) usage
  • File‑watching and live regenerating of site content
  • Built‑in querying for content management in templates
  • Extensive plugin ecosystem for extensibility
  • Simplifies production of static sites with dynamic‑like capabilities
