14 There is a strong desire to use Org-mode to manage both blogs and
15 wikis. There are a number of tools which address parts of this need, this
16 page will serve as a collecting of the names of these tools with links and
17 brief descriptions. I'm sure I've forgotten many relevant tools so *please
22 - [[http://renard.github.com/o-blog][o-blog]] :: Stand-alone blogging system that does not require any external
23 software ([[http://renard.github.com/o-blog/features.html][features]], [[https://github.com/renard/o-blog][Github source]]).
25 - [[http://jekyllrb.com/][Jekyll]] :: a simple, blog aware, static site generator. There are
26 instructions for combining Org-mode with jekyll at [[file:org-tutorials/org-jekyll.org][Org-Jekyll]].
28 - [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html][Projects]] :: In most cases using [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html][Org-mode publishing projects]] with
29 its many options should be sufficient for publishing a blog.
31 - [[file:blorgit.org][Blorgit]] :: publish an interactive website based on Org-mode
32 documents. While blorgit has many nice features including the
33 fact that Org-mode documents can be edited through the web
34 interface with automatic commits to a git or svn repository
35 however it is fairly complicated to set up. Blorgit is one or
36 two small changes from being a full-fledged Org-mode based wiki.
37 This is no longer maintained, see org-ehtml in the wiki section
40 - [[https://github.com/punchagan/blog-files][blog-files]] :: A simple system based on ideas and code from
41 org-jekyll and reprise.py to publish a blog using simple static
44 - [[https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog][org2blog]] :: allows publishing directly from Org-mode to WordPress
46 - [[http://jaderholm.com/blog/blogging-with-org-mode-and-octopress][Org-mode and Octopress]] :: Instructions for blogging With Org-mode
47 and Octopress. There is also this [[https://github.com/craftkiller/orgmode-octopress][dedicated exporter]] by Tom
48 Alexander (instructions [[http://blog.paphus.com/blog/2012/08/01/introducing-octopress-blogging-for-org-mode/][here]].)
50 - [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Blorg][Blorg]] :: the original Org-mode blogging engine (but it's not
51 maintained anymore). Roland Kaufmann is maintaining a fork [[https://github.com/RolKau/blorg][here]].
53 - [[http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45360][a blog-like sitemap for org-publish]] :: see [[http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45360][this post]] by Jon Anders
56 - [[http://plugins.getnikola.com/#orgmode][Org-mode and Nikola]] :: A plugin for [[http://getnikola.com][Nikola]] (a static site generator
57 in Python), that lets you write your posts in org-mode syntax.
59 - [[https://github.com/kelvinh/org-page][org-page]] :: A static blog-site generator, written in elisp. Very
60 light weight. Integrated with git. Supports themeing. Uses
61 [[http://mustache.github.io/][mustache]] for templating. Highly customizable. Key difference from
62 o-blog is that org-page posts are in *separate* org-files. Built-in
63 support for disqus, google-analytics and RSS.
65 - [[https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg][lazyblorg]] :: a static blog-site generator written in Python (HTML5,
66 CSS3). Focus is to have only an absolutely /minimum/ of things to
67 do to write a new blog entry /everywhere/ in your set of Org-mode
68 files. The software is [[https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg/blob/master/lazyblorg.org][currently in development]]. However, basic
69 functionality is working: tagging, Atom feeds, basic Org-mode
70 syntax parser with Pandoc fall-back, hidden blog entries,
71 auto-tags for language, tag cloud link page, tag description
72 pages, and such. You can take a look at [[http://karl-voit.at/][Karl Voit]]'s personal web
73 page to see an example result. Great features are planned for the
74 future: auto-tags for article length, overview pages for
75 navigation, extremely easy integration of image files through [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/docs/memacs_filenametimestamps.org][a
76 memacs module]], and so forth.
78 - [[https://gohugo.io/][Hugo]] :: Hugo fast static blog engine supports Org files natively.
80 - [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co][ox-hugo]] :: An Org exporter backend that exports to
81 [[https://gohugo.io][Hugo]]/Blackfriday-friendly Markdown, along with Hugo front-matter
82 in TOML or YAML. This package was developed after being aware of
83 the fact that Hugo natively supports parsing Org (but that
84 support is only partial).. read more on [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/why-ox-hugo/][Why =ox-hugo=?]]
86 =ox-hugo= enables writing posts for Hugo in *native Org mode*. It
87 allows converting your existing Org files to blog posts with
88 almost no modification. Two common Org blogging flows are
90 - Exporting multiple Org sub-trees from a single file to multiple
91 Hugo posts. With this feature, one can produce a whole web site
92 from a single Org file (the [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co][=ox-hugo= documentation site]] is one
93 such example, which is generated from [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/master/doc/ox-hugo-manual.org][this one Org file]]). It also
94 leverages Org tag and property inheritance, and much more!
95 - Exporting a single Org file to a single Hugo post.
97 See the package's website for complete documentation, and the [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/test/][test
98 site]] [[[https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/tree/master/test/site/content-org][source]]] for hundreds of test cases and feature
103 - [[http://ikiwiki.info/][ikiwiki]] is a web site compiler written in Perl. In many ways it is
104 similar to Jekyll, but has closer integration with version control
105 systems. It supports blogging and has many plugins.
107 There is an org mode plugin by [[http://www.golden-gryphon.com/blog/manoj/blog/2008/06/08/Using_org-mode_with_Ikiwiki/][Manoj]], which lets you write your posts in
108 org and converts them to html suitable for processing by ikiwiki.
110 There is [[https://github.com/chrismgray/ikiwiki-org-plugin][another plugin]] by Chris Gray that interprets org files. It
111 is still under intermittent development, but is stable enough for
114 - [[https://github.com/eschulte/org-ehtml][Org-ehtml]] defines an editable HTML backend for the new exporting
115 engine. Org-ehtml runs on an [[https://github.com/eschulte/emacs-web-server][Emacs web server]]. Exported Org-mode
116 web pages may be edited through a web browser, the edits may then be
117 saved to Org-mode files on the computer running the server, and may
118 even be committed to a version control system (experimental)
119 providing wiki functionality. There is also experimental support
120 for password authentication. Also see the [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/58773][initial announcement
121 email on the Org-mode mailing list]].
125 - [[file:org-tutorials/org-ruby.org][org-ruby]] is a Ruby gem for converting org-mode files to HTML. The goal is
126 to make it easier to use org-mode files in website tools like [[http://webby.rubyforge.org/][Webby]],
127 [[http://jekyllrb.com/][Jekyll]], or [[http://webgen.rubyforge.org/][webgen]].
