Veltox - A Minimal Static Site Generator in Rust
โ Rust ๐ 2025-10-20 ๐ค surdeus ๐๏ธ 1Hello
I just released Veltox, a minimal static site generator written in Rust. Itโs fast, simple, and self-contained โ built for documentation, blogs, and lightweight sites. If you want a no-fuss way to turn Markdown into HTML, Veltox might be worth a look.
Features
- Markdown to HTML via
pulldown-cmark - Theme support with
{title}and{body}placeholders - Asset copying (CSS, images, etc.)
- CLI interface:
build,serve, and custom output folders - One-file core (~150 lines of Rust)
Example Structure
my-site/
โโโ content/
โโโ themes/
โ โโโ default/
โ โโโ template.html
โ โโโ assets/
โโโ dist/
Usage
cargo run -- build
cargo run -- serve
cargo run -- build --output docs
I originally built it to generate docs for Velto, but itโs general-purpose and easy to extend. If youโre curious or have ideas for themes or plugins, Iโd love to hear what you think.
