/ About /

Pelican is an open-source static site generator written in Python that lets users write content in reStructuredText or Markdown and generates fully static HTML output. It supports themes via Jinja2 templates, Atom/RSS feeds, multilingual content, and code syntax highlighting. The tool integrates with version control systems and can import content from WordPress, Dotclear, or RSS feeds.

/ How it works /

Users write content in Markdown or reStructuredText, and Pelican's CLI compiles everything into static HTML files that can be hosted anywhere

/ Who it's for /

developers and bloggers who want to build static websites using Python
