Franklin is a static site generator written in Julia, oriented towards technical blogging with maths (KaTeX) and code. It extends markdown with LaTeX-like commands and can evaluate Julia code blocks on the fly, with live preview serving.
Use cases
- build a technical blog with math rendering
- generate documentation sites in Julia
- evaluate Julia code blocks in blog posts
- create a static website with live preview
- write posts in markdown with custom LaTeX-like commands
- integrate Literate.jl notebooks into a site
When to choose
- you blog about maths or code and want KaTeX and executable Julia blocks
- you're in the Julia ecosystem and want an SSG in your language
- you want simple, fast, hackable site generation with live preview
When to avoid
- you just need a plain text-and-pictures blog (Hugo/Jekyll fit better)
- you need a large ecosystem of themes and plugins
- you rely on pre-rendering/minification, which is being deprecated
