Static site generator

Some of the most popular static site generators are Jekyll, Hugo, Eleventy, Gatsby, and Next.js,[2][3] SSGs are typically for rarely-changing, informative content, such as product pages, news articles, software documentation, and blogs.

Alternatively, a single structural metadata file may correspond to an entire website if a single-page application framework like AngularJS is used.

Page files typically also start with a YAML, TOML, or JSON preamble to define variables such as title, permalink, or date.

Several hundred SSGs have been documented to exist, with the vast majority being written in languages that are already prominent on the web, such as Python, Go, JavaScript and TypeScript.

In the majority of cases, this "publish option" doesn't interfere with the template system, and it can be made by external software, as Wget.
