Luxtra

A static site generator written in Lua. It processes Markdown files and generates a static blog website.

Inspired by Nextra.

Check a working example here.

Install

luarocks install luxtra

Usage

• generate the placeholder luxtra generate

• build the html files luxtra build

Configuration

In the file luxtra.config.json, you can change the title of your blog and change to a different theme.

How it works

• you need to write your posts in the pages/ folder using markdown
• the luxtra build command will generate a folder docs (so you can deploy using github pages)

Themes

Currently there's only one theme (default).

Themes inspired by dead simple sites.
