Static website generation

Ruby

Anyone have a static site generation tool to recommend? I’m looking at
webgen, which seems pretty good, but if there are other nice ones out
there I’d like to spend a few days comparing them before diving in.

I just write all my source in [Markdown][1] (processing it with
[BlueCloth][2]) and have a little script rummage through them
processing the ones that are newer than their generated html
counterparts. Actually, I should probably be using rake for that, but
am doing it manually at the moment.

Thanks John; I did consider that sort of approach, but this is a
rather large site, so I’m looking for something that will give me a
bit more of a “helping hand” in terms of standardised navigation,
central configuration of repeated elements, etc.
