New static site generator · The Odd Bit

I’ve switched my static site generator from Pelican to Hugo. I’ve tried to ensure that all the old links continue to work correctly, but if you notice anything missing or otherwise not working as intended, please let me know by opening an issue. Thanks!

But why?

larsks commented 5 years ago

Among the reasons:

Substantially faster site builds.
I really like the templating system: it's easy to provide local overrides to themes, and the entire shortcode system is a really easy way to add dynamic features.
I was getting really frustrated with the lack of good image/figure support with Pelican, and hugo's figure shortcode is a breath of fresh air.
