I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the term "static website generator". Is this just a new word for "HTML editor"? -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 16:57 11
- One of my startup ideas is to take a static site generator and wire it up to a web based admin interface (like what wordpress has). Then you'd get the - Beryllium Nov 5, 17:04 1
  - For the most part, static site generators are aimed squarely at developers and hobbyists. - Beryllium Nov 5, 17:05
- No. The output of a static site generator is raw HTML, but the input can use all kinds of technology to bring it together. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 16:58 8
  - That makes a surprising amount of sense to me. -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 16:59
  - I use the Sculpin static site generator to maintain whateverthing.com - most of the content is in Markdown, and it uses the Twig templating engine -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 5, 16:59 2
    - Can you get it to harvest data from other web sites regardless of the format? -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 17:00 1
      - You can do all kinds of things as part of the build process - but once the HTML is uploaded to the server, it doesn't change. -- (edited) - Beryllium Nov 5, 17:02
  - Isn't that basically what Wordpress is? -- nm - iSpam Nov 5, 16:58 3
    - No - wordpress is dynamic. Technically the output is still HTML, but it's built on each request. Static site generators build it once. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 16:59 2
      - There are plugins that do caching of wordpress's output, and they are very close to the same behaviour as a static site generator. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 17:00 1
        
        Gotcha. That's probably what I was really thinking of. -- nm - iSpam Nov 5, 17:00
I'm trying to create an excel file which has a bunch of repeating pages, and send it to a PDF as a bunch of repeating pages. - Subversive Nov 5, 16:53 7
- Are the pages different worksheets? Select all the sheets that you want to include before making the pdf. On one sheet, set a print area that includes - zork Nov 5, 17:33
- Or you can set the print area to force it to print everything. I think that's worked before. - iSpam Nov 5, 16:56 3
  - I'll take a stab in a bit, just gotta get kids to bed first. -- nm - Subversive Nov 5, 17:23
  - These are the pages you want to print. -- nm - Force Print Nov 5, 16:57
  - that's my first thought. -- nm - b. Nov 5, 16:56
- I've had that issue with Excel. Can you create multiple pdfs and then combine them? - iSpam Nov 5, 16:55 1
  - When I tell you, you'll be glad I did, because it's sort of awesome. -- nm - Subversive Nov 5, 17:24
