Thank you for the kind works. And thank you very much for bring tiddlywiki back to my mind. I was looking into when scanning tools for note taking. But I think this can be an addition for foliage. I will see if it works like I want to be. Norbert

Pretty cool! Thanks Norbert. BTW I'm using your Mustache library and Futures patch for building Brea (explained below), so triple thanks :-).
On a similar front I'm building Brea, which is kind of between a static site generators, because it builds a web site from Markdown files (thanks to Pandoc) and a deucopled CMS because it provides an API to query the site and its data thanks to Fossil. As usual, Pharo glues all together and brings dynamic data manipulation.
We have been documenting it pretty actively (in Spanish) in [1] and the source code repository is at [2]. Brea follows the self referential tradition of Smalltalk/Pharo so the site at [1] is done in Brea.
The idea is pretty simple: a HTML5UP[3] base template site (see [3a]), is downloaded and a Mustache template (see [3b]) is build from it so a set of Markdown files can be injected in such template to produce the correspondent HTML output (see [3c]). Everything is versioned in Fossil, which provides us with an integrated web UI with version control. The template page can have sparks of JavaScript here and there to extent the site functionality (like in JamStack[4] approach). For example, by clicking the marker at the top right of the page[5] you can get the page comments[5], powered by hypothesis[5b]. Page metadata for such extended functionality or linking the page with the repository is stored as YAML front page or added at creation time.
The code to install a theme is at [6] and to create a page on [6a]. Notice that page creation is only 7 lines, while extra lines are related with metadata for extra functionality.
As we advance mainly by community workshops and projects on a voluntary basis (and with microgrants like the one of ESUG, which makes a macro-difference here), now our community explorations led us more towards the dynamic counterpart of web site creation, this time combining Fossil, TiddlyWiki and Pharo [7][7a]. So Brea is a little bit quiet after last year ending. I hope once we have matured the dynamic web site counterpart we can retake this again and build momentum around such projects.
So, I think Pharo is getting to an interesting point regarding web site generation and is good to have a panoramic overview of what is possible, even with this early developments like Foliage and Brea.
Cheers,
Offray

Hi,
Iâve been toying around with a web site generator the last months. Some people were showing interest and asked me to release it. It is still pretty basic but I manage my blog with it . Iâm all open ears about what you think, what doesnât work and what is missing.
Please read about it
