About

Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby.

It uses the Liquid templating language, supports front-matter metadata and data files in YAML, JSON, and CSV formats, includes a plugin system with custom converters and generators, and offers incremental regeneration to speed up build times.

Sphinx is an open-source documentation generator originally created for the Python ecosystem that converts reStructuredText and Markdown sources into structured technical documentation.

It supports cross-references, automatic API documentation for Python, C++, JS, and other software domains, theming, and deployments to Read the Docs, GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, and Netlify.
