Marmite 0.3.1

Marmite is a static site generator designed specifically for creating blogs, focusing on minimal setup and ease of use. Written in Rust, it converts Markdown files into HTML websites, allowing users to start blogging with just a directory of markdown files and a single command. The tool is aimed at bloggers and those who want to quickly build and customize static blog sites without extensive configuration.

Key features of Marmite include live reloading during development, RSS feed generation, and a built-in development server. It offers a web-based component called the Marmite Playground, which enables users to write markdown, adjust settings, and preview their site directly in the browser without any installation. Users can organize content in subfolders and apply folder-level frontmatter defaults to reduce repetition of metadata such as tags, dates, and streams. Marmite also supports multiple sites within a single workspace, allowing cross-site references, shared configuration, and unified builds.

Additional capabilities include multilingual content management through language streams, which provides automatic translation linking, language-specific pages, and SEO tags. The tool validates internal links at build time, offering configurable warnings or strict failure modes to help prevent broken references. It can generate redirect aliases when content slugs are changed, preserving links and SEO integrity. Users can choose different color schemes and themes to customize the appearance of their blogs.

Marmite is delivered as both a command-line tool and a web-based playground. Installation can be performed via a shell script or other documented methods. The platform is distributed under a CC-BY_NC-SA license, as indicated in the page footer. Marmite positions itself within the class of static site generators, particularly those optimized for blogging workflows and markdown-based content.
