About:
Pelican is a static site generator written in Python that processes content written in Markdown or reStructuredText into HTML. It does not require a database or server-side processing, making sites fast, secure, and easy to host anywhere. It is highly customizable through themes and plugins, ideal for blogs, documentation, and project pages.
Key Features:
  • Supports Markdown and reStructuredText
  • Extensive plugin and theme ecosystem
  • Fast generation and simple deployment
  • Python-based for easy extensibility
Use Cases:
  • Personal blogs and portfolios
  • Project documentation sites
  • Technical writing and articles
Alternatives:
  • Jekyll – Ruby-based, more complex setup on non-macOS systems
  • Hugo – Go-based, significantly faster generation but different templating
