Bhook

Build Status Coverage Report Gem Version Downloads

Bhook is a static website generator that works off a git repo containing a markdown file based wiki, like for example, the India Startup Wiki.

Since you control the source markdown, Bhook applies no restrictions on what you can put in there. Wanna embed a YouTube video in an iframe? Sure thing!

I use this to create HTML versions of the wiki and of my essays that I can publish.
