features

There are many other and better staticsitegenerators, but I missed these:

writesource.php

• edit without texteditor or ssh access. Using webedit on your browser and get a textarea or markdown-WYSIWM to change and create pages.

make.php

• meta information for rendering (template, menue etc) or html metatags are at the bottom of the page and only optional (tried to use my own standard PROSErial).
• use source directories as namespace, with customizing namespaceseperators (namespace:pagetitle).
• include sourcefiles as areas in templates (for menus, sidebars, trackingpixels).
• if there is no <title> set in meta, drfrederson uses the first heading as pagetitle.
• wikistyle internal links ([[MyPage]]).
• txt-files get rendered with newlines as breaks (<br>).
• render markdown to html pages and json.

All about editing, admin, setup and templates in the wiki.

Demo (use user a and password a. There is no further protection, so all changes will be deleted sporadic for cleanup.)

• Hacker CMS has a webinterface. The filetree, is a feature, drfrederson is missing at all. But it uses the common ssg jekyll, so users have to deal with frontmatter and not PROSErial.
• prose.io is a writing orientated webinterface for github
