and that is precisely what I want. I haven't played with stylefactory, mostly because of Compass/SASS junk. Atom has a really cool plugin to extract style-able elements from an HTML document and create a CSS file for me, which I can then modify to my liking. Brackets lets me do that with live reload and makes media queries for responsive design (relatively) easy. I have been talking a little with Jared Henley about updating http://jared.henley.id.au/software/awb/[AsciiDoc Website Builder]. It has a similar kludgey template system to other static site builders, though, so I'm not convinced it's the right way to go for me. The documentation is somewhat lacking, as well; which is to say, while attempting to set up a basic test site, I ran into several questions not answered in the docs. Essentially, I want the hardest part of my site building to be creating content. OK, initially, styling will be a bit of a bear. That might take me a week to get it right. I can live with that. Dealing with all the multiple templates and CSS files is a big part of why I got away from WordPress. It's horrible; and every static sitebuilder uses the same model. What a nightmare. No thanks. Not for me. Also, I write wherever I happen to be. That often means I'm writing on my phone - yes, awkward, but it puts words in a file for later editing. I need to be able to arbitrarily create a new file and not muck around with <sitebuilder> -newpage <title> because I simply can't do it from there. Dropbox handles change propagation between devices. It also handles (limited) version control but since I'll be publishing with GitLab pages, real versioning will take place via Git. -- I'm Paraplegic Racehorse.
