Pelican is a static site generator that requires no database or server-side logic. Chronological content (e.g., articles, blog posts) as well as static pages. Integration with external services. Site themes (created using Jinja2 templates). Publication of articles in multiple languages. Generation of Atom and RSS feeds. Code syntax highlighting via Pygments. Import existing content from WordPress, Dotclear, or RSS feeds. Fast rebuild times due to content caching and selective output writing. Extensible via a rich plugin ecosystem, Pelican Plugins. Pelican considers “articles” to be chronological content, such as posts on a blog, and thus associated with a date. The idea behind “pages” is that they are usually not temporal in nature and are used for content that does not change very often (e.g., “About” or “Contact” pages). Pelican tries to be smart enough to get the information it needs from the file system.
