Nikola 8.3.1

Nikola generates static websites and blogs, with feeds, comments, media galleries and an archive. Content can be authored in reStructuredText, Markdown/CommonMark, Wiki, BBCode, Textile, AsciiDoc, Python Notebooks, Misaka, Pandoc, txt2tags, orgmode, or plain HTML. It also provides code sections with syntax highlighting, is multi-lingual, fully themeable, and can utilize external tools. It's foremost rather fast and its static pages don't have further webserver requirements.
