20 There is a strong desire to use Org-mode to manage both blogs and
21 wikis. There are a number of tools which address parts of this need, this
22 page will serve as a collecting of the names of these tools with links and
23 brief descriptions. I'm sure I've forgotten many relevant tools so *please
28 - [[http://renard.github.com/o-blog][o-blog]] :: Stand-alone blogging system that does not require any external
29 software ([[http://renard.github.com/o-blog/features.html][features]], [[https://github.com/renard/o-blog][Github source]]).
31 - [[http://jekyllrb.com/][Jekyll]] :: a simple, blog aware, static site generator. There are
32 instructions for combining Org-mode with jekyll at [[file:org-tutorials/org-jekyll.org][Org-Jekyll]].
34 - [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html][Projects]] :: In most cases using [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html][Org-mode publishing projects]] with
35 its many options should be sufficient for publishing a blog.
37 - [[file:blorgit.org][Blorgit]] :: publish an interactive website based on Org-mode
38 documents. While blorgit has many nice features including the
39 fact that Org-mode documents can be edited through the web
40 interface with automatic commits to a git or svn repository
41 however it is fairly complicated to set up. Blorgit is one or
42 two small changes from being a full-fledged Org-mode based wiki.
43 This is no longer maintained, see org-ehtml in the wiki section
46 - [[https://github.com/punchagan/blog-files][blog-files]] :: A simple system based on ideas and code from
47 org-jekyll and reprise.py to publish a blog using simple static
50 - [[https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog][org2blog]] :: allows publishing directly from Org-mode to WordPress
52 - [[http://jaderholm.com/blog/blogging-with-org-mode-and-octopress][Org-mode and Octopress]] :: Instructions for blogging With Org-mode
53 and Octopress. There is also this [[https://github.com/craftkiller/orgmode-octopress][dedicated exporter]] by Tom
54 Alexander (instructions [[http://blog.paphus.com/blog/2012/08/01/introducing-octopress-blogging-for-org-mode/][here]].)
56 - [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Blorg][Blorg]] :: the original Org-mode blogging engine (but it's not
57 maintained anymore). Roland Kaufmann is maintaining a fork [[https://github.com/RolKau/blorg][here]].
59 - [[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
62 - [[http://plugins.getnikola.com/#orgmode][Org-mode and Nikola]] :: A plugin for [[http://getnikola.com][Nikola]] (a static site generator
63 in Python), that lets you write your posts in org-mode syntax.
65 - [[https://github.com/kelvinh/org-page][org-page]] :: A static blog-site generator, written in elisp. Very
66 light weight. Integrated with git. Supports themeing. Uses
67 [[http://mustache.github.io/][mustache]] for templating. Highly customizable. Key difference from
68 o-blog is that org-page posts are in *separate* org-files. Built-in
69 support for disqus, google-analytics and RSS.
71 - [[https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg][lazyblorg]] :: a static blog-site generator written in Python (HTML5,
72 CSS3). Focus is to have only an absolutely /minimum/ of things to
73 do to write a new blog entry /everywhere/ in your set of Org-mode
74 files. The software is [[https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg/blob/master/lazyblorg.org][currently in development]]. However, basic
75 functionality is working: tagging, Atom feeds, basic Org-mode
76 syntax parser with Pandoc fall-back, hidden blog entries,
77 auto-tags for language, tag cloud link page, tag description
78 pages, and such. You can take a look at [[http://karl-voit.at/][Karl Voit]]'s personal web
79 page to see an example result. Great features are planned for the
80 future: auto-tags for article length, overview pages for
81 navigation, extremely easy integration of image files through [[https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/docs/memacs_filenametimestamps.org][a
82 memacs module]], and so forth.
84 - [[https://gohugo.io/][Hugo]] :: Hugo fast static blog engine supports Org files natively.
86 - [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co][ox-hugo]] :: An Org exporter backend that exports to
87 [[https://gohugo.io][Hugo]]/Blackfriday-friendly Markdown, along with Hugo front-matter
88 in TOML or YAML. This package was developed after being aware of
89 the fact that Hugo natively supports parsing Org (but that
90 support is only partial).. read more on [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/why-ox-hugo/][Why =ox-hugo=?]]
92 =ox-hugo= enables writing posts for Hugo in *native Org mode*. It
93 allows converting your existing Org files to blog posts with
94 almost no modification. Two common Org blogging flows are
96 - Exporting multiple Org sub-trees from a single file to multiple
97 Hugo posts. With this feature, one can produce a whole web site
98 from a single Org file (the [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co][=ox-hugo= documentation site]] is one
99 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
100 leverages Org tag and property inheritance, and much more!
101 - Exporting a single Org file to a single Hugo post.
103 See the package's website for complete documentation, and the [[https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/test/][test
104 site]] [[[https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/tree/master/test/site/content-org][source]]] for hundreds of test cases and feature
107 - [[https://github.com/bastibe/org-static-blog/][org-static-blog]] :: This is a blog generator that focuses on being
108 simple. It has no dependency beside Emacs. All files are simple
109 org-mode files in a directory. The index, the archive and the
110 RSS feed are automatically generated. See [[https://bastibe.de/][Basti's]] website for an
115 - [[http://ikiwiki.info/][ikiwiki]] is a web site compiler written in Perl. In many ways it is
116 similar to Jekyll, but has closer integration with version control
117 systems. It supports blogging and has many plugins.
119 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
120 org and converts them to html suitable for processing by ikiwiki.
122 There is [[https://github.com/chrismgray/ikiwiki-org-plugin][another plugin]] by Chris Gray that interprets org files. It
123 is still under intermittent development, but is stable enough for
126 - [[https://github.com/eschulte/org-ehtml][Org-ehtml]] defines an editable HTML backend for the new exporting
127 engine. Org-ehtml runs on an [[https://github.com/eschulte/emacs-web-server][Emacs web server]]. Exported Org-mode
128 web pages may be edited through a web browser, the edits may then be
129 saved to Org-mode files on the computer running the server, and may
130 even be committed to a version control system (experimental)
131 providing wiki functionality. There is also experimental support
132 for password authentication. Also see the [[https://list.orgmode.org/87pq6ua0kk.fsf@gmx.com][initial announcement
133 email on the Org-mode mailing list]].
137 - [[file:org-tutorials/org-ruby.org][org-ruby]] is a Ruby gem for converting org-mode files to HTML. The goal is
138 to make it easier to use org-mode files in website tools like [[http://webby.rubyforge.org/][Webby]],
139 [[http://jekyllrb.com/][Jekyll]], or [[http://webgen.rubyforge.org/][webgen]].
