## What it is
Ink (InkPaper) is a static blog generator written in Go with no dependencies, fast builds, and an elegant built-in theme. It supports YAML configuration, Markdown articles, multi-author posts, tags/archives, real-time preview, offline full-text search, and LaTeX math via MathJax.

## Use cases
- generate a static blog from markdown files
- build a fast personal blog site with no dependencies
- self-host a lightweight blog with offline search
- write blog posts in markdown with yaml front matter
- publish a static site with math formula support
- preview blog changes in real time while writing

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, dependency-free static blog generator with fast builds
- you need an elegant default theme and typography out of the box
- you want built-in offline full-text search and MathJax support
- you prefer a single cross-platform binary for building and publishing

## When to avoid
- you need a plugin ecosystem or extensive theming options
- you require a non-commercial license for your use (CC BY-NC 4.0)
- you want dynamic features like comments beyond Disqus integration
- you prefer a generator with a large community like Hugo or Jekyll
