what's the advantage of a static site generator over pandoc + makefile?


While opinions differ, I would say that pandoc+makefile is a variant of SSG, versus something wholly different in kind.


Same thing


I’m using Jekyll for includes and so I can use Ruby to render pages from yaml data. I’m sure Pandoc can do this too one way or another but it’s dead simple out of the box in Jekyll.

I mean, it’s tempting though.
