Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs with a Ruby-powered engine.

The robust, Haskell-driven static site library for developer-centric content ecosystems.
Hakyll is a functional, library-based static site generator written in Haskell, providing a level of customization and type-safe reliability that traditional CLI-based generators like Hugo or Jekyll cannot match. As of 2026, it remains a premier choice for technical documentation, academic blogs, and high-performance developer portfolios due to its deep integration with Pandoc—the universal document converter. Unlike generators that rely on fragile configuration files, Hakyll sites are compiled Haskell programs. This architecture allows developers to define a 'Rules' monad that governs exactly how assets are processed, transformed, and routed. The library's build system utilizes a sophisticated dependency tracking mechanism, ensuring that only modified content is recompiled, which is critical for large-scale documentation projects. Its market position in 2026 is cemented as the 'Lego-set of web generation,' favored by those who require complex metadata manipulation, LaTeX integration, or custom RSS/Atom feed logic that standard tools treat as edge cases. By treating the website as a software engineering project rather than a content management system, Hakyll provides unparalleled stability and long-term maintainability for the functional programming community.
Native binding to the Pandoc library, allowing the conversion of nearly any markup format to HTML5, including complex math rendering via MathJax.
Transform your plain text into static websites and blogs with a Ruby-powered engine.
Zero-config React component documentation powered by MDX and Gatsby.
Build optimized documentation websites quickly, focusing on your content.
Prompt-to-production static website generation with zero-code Bootstrap architecture.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Allows developers to take snapshots of item content during the build process to reuse in different contexts, such as teasers or feed entries.
A Domain Specific Language built in Haskell that uses pattern matching to apply transformations to groups of files.
A flexible 'Context' system that merges metadata from files, system information, and calculated values into templates.
An internal database tracks dependencies between files, ensuring that changing a template triggers a rebuild of only the files using that template.
Users can write their own Haskell functions to process files, such as custom image minifiers or code syntax highlighters.
Built-in support for processing bibliographic data, essential for academic and research-oriented websites.
Managing extensive bibliographies and complex LaTeX formulas in a web-friendly format.
