This, like many other things with Midgard's usage, is still
pretty much undocumented.
When you convert a Midgard site into static HTML for deployment
on a normal Web server, the easiest way for doing this is to
use the GNU Wget utility. Wget fetches the site structure via
HTTP and generates the directory structure and pages by it. After
that, just deploy the HTML pages via FTP or whatever your Web
hosting service uses.
Of course, when developing Midgard sites for static deployment,
you have to remember that you will not be able to use the nice
dynamic stricting possibilities of Midgard. But what you can use
is the style, page and topic structures, and I think that even
that is an advantage when compared to alternatives.
I used to maintain Stonesoft's sites this way, but switched
them to a native Midgard server after we got all the legacy
CGI and NSAPI applications ported.

BTW. The Wget utility should be present in most Linux or BSD
distributions. If you don't have it, you can find it from
the GNU project's Web site at
