A template-driven web site builder for small sites.
PubTal is a template-driven web site publisher suitable for small web sites. I use it to manage my website (Owlfish), and this documentation was built using it. The main features of PubTal include:
- All templates, content, and configuration are stored in ordinary files. No database is required.
- Different templates can be used in different parts of a site.
- Macros can be used to share common pieces of template.
- Content is written in your word processor or text editor of choice.
- Collections of data can be easily handled (e.g. photo albums)
- Templates, macros, and name-value pairs are inherited from parent directories, enabling easy configuration.
- Pages are built into ordinary HTML files, so no server-side support is required.
