Awesome list, thanks Brian
Grain seems to be stale if not defunct, groovy no more

https://github.com/sysgears/grain/graphs/code-frequency

https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups is a wiki with optional asciidoc support

This is a good one https://github.com/Dev-Mind/devmind-website
actually one of the best static site generators with asciidoc support (Asciidoctor.js) I found yet, the author is very humble and states "it is a Node module for Asciidoctor.js and Handlebars using Gulp". In my opinion it deserves to be a full fledged SSG with themes, plugins and everything.

came across Hexo while checking the https://gitlab.com/pages SSGs

"....Hexo support posts written in any format, so long the corresponding renderer plugin is installed. It can be in markdown, ejs, swig, nunjucks, pug, asciidoc, etc. Regardless of the format used, those three code block syntax will always be available."

Awesome!

For Pelican plugin, by default, it supports legacy asciidoc and asciidoctor.
It would use asciidoc if it is installed.
If you want to use asciidoctor then just uninstall asciidoc and then install asciidoctor only.

Is there a mistake on Antora? Should the source language be JavaScript (based on https://jamstack.org/generators/antora/)?

Very helpful. Thanks!

JBake supports also pebble now https://jbake.org/docs/latest/#templates_directory

Application	AsciiDoc Support	Source Lang	Template Lang
docToolChain	native	Groovy	arc42

is wrong in my eyes since

• it is not native, it uses asciidoctor or other generators with asciidoc support
• srcLang is java to me since it uses jbake, perhaps there are bash / powershell scripts around that ..
• Template Lang is defined by jbake

Hugo	plugin

I don't see that there is an optional plugin but you have to just install the asciidoc command, then the converter can be called for .adoc ?! can't it?
^^ what is the definition of "native" and "plugin" here?

Nice list, I would like to ask whether this app can be part of this list.

The links for Shitty SSG seem broken to me. The new link might be https://codeberg.org/ewintr/shitty-ssg

That link is broken too. I found this one: https://ewintr.nl/shitty-ssg/

Thank you! This is really helpful

I have just posted a major update to this matrix. I removed a couple of tools and added several. I also made lots of corrections to the info and formatting, as well as adding FOSS licenses for each. I intend to release the source code for the YAML I use to maintain all of this data, as well as the template I use to parse it into AsciIDoc, as soon as I can get the rest of its parent repo ready for public release. Happy to take comments, suggestions, additions, etc.

NOTE: I removed LiquiDoc and docToolChain because I believe they are more like frameworks than SSGs themselves. I am going to create/add a file for frameworks and other integrations at some point.

Next step (and a very important one) would be Astro
