What is Phantomake?
Phantomake is a static site generator with specific goals:
- Distributed as a single, standalone executable
- When run on an existing static site, will (in most cases) output the exact same site with no changes
- Can reuse common code (headers/footers/common HTML) across several pages with templates and includes
- Can do pagination (e.g. for blog listings)
Phantomake turns files like this:
📄 /src/.templates/default.ejs
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Phanto's Ghostlace Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
<%- output.file.attributes.title %>
</h1>
<%- output.content %>
</body>
</html>
📄 /src/favorites.md
