imml (indented markdown markup language) is a markup language and static site generator whose purpose is to create minimalist, blazing fast no-javascript websites from a single, portable plain text file.

The project was born from the desire to have a process to build a personal website which doesn't get more complicated than editing a single text file and calling it a day. Could be the perfect choice for your blog, public brain dump, recipe list, no-fuss portfolio, low-fi zine, or anything you can think of.

• your whole website is a single, portable, offline, private plain text file
• blazing fast to load and build
• no javascript
• it's abetter motherfucking website
• makes you understand thatperfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away

Visithttps://leoncvlt.github.io/imml/ for a web-basedimml editor. Write in the editor on the left side and it will be parsed in real-time into the results shown on the right. The web-based editor saves to localstorage, so feel free to come back to it later on - or you can manually save and load a file by using the toolbar buttons on the top left. The export button exports your site as a single .html file.

Alternatively, write a file locally on your machine and then, with node.js installed, runnpx imml <path to your text file> to generate a minified html file. Runnpx imml --help orclick here to find out more about the command line tool.

Wrap text between[square brackets] to create a page and a link to it, then indent and write markdown to create the content for that page. The first page in the imml document is your home. Nest pages to create a site structure. For more advanced usage, check thedetailed writing guide in the wiki.
