Super cool! Nice to have more tools like in the the Pharo toolkit. I did
some experiments with Brea my own tool between a static site generator
and a headless CMS circa 2019. You can see the documentation site (made
in Brea itself) in [[1] and the source code in [2]
Given our extensive usage of TiddlyWiki[3] in the local communities and
despite TiddlyWikiPharo[3a] with plenty of data narratives made on it
about how our Pharo powered publishing workflows connect with Wordpress
[3b], Hugo [3c] or empower linguistic revitalization in the Colombian
Amazonas[3d], my explorations this year and the next one would be
centered around Cardumem[4], a TiddlyWiki inspired wiki engine made as
an hypermedia system[4a] using Lua[4b] and YueScript[4c], to make an
complementary exploration to the one I have been doing with Pharo all
this years but from the opposite side of the spectrum, with a super
embeddable language (family) that still is super simple.
Time will tell about this alternative strategy, and I hope to share my
advances and lessons from going back a little bit to file based
languages but so far I miss Pharo/GT a lot, as you all know we get
spoiled by live coding in Smalltalk inspired/powered systems. But I hope
to keep some cross-pollination between ideas and technologies, including
Foliage.
Cheers,
Offray

Hello
I released a new version of Foliage: v2.1.0
Foliage is a static web page generator.
It takes as input Microdown (including HTML) and generates HTML.
### Features
It supports:
- Composable template
- Simple yet nice blog
- [For researchers ] automated publication list generation
- Plugin architecture to support extension
### Examples
- https://www.pharo.org <http://www.pharo.org> is generated using
Foliage1.0 but Foliage2.0 can generate it too.
In the future we will migrate to Foliage 2.0.
- https://stephaneducasse.github.io is an example of Foliage 2.0
### Documentation
- There is simple documentation
http://github.com/pillar-markup/Foliage/doc
- In addition https://github.com/FoliageSample is a little example
generating a minimal website for Tintin.
Foliage was created by Norbert Hartl.
I extended it
- It uses now the most recent versions of Microdown
- Added tests
- Introduced a plugin architecture
- Support for automated publication list generation
