A '''static site generator''' is a program that takes content, webpage design templates and configuration files and based on them generates a directory tree of [HTML] and other files that represent a website. The resulting website is static in the sense that it does not contain [CGI] or other server-side scripts and could as well be distributed as a [ZIP] file with no HTTP server at all. The content that a static site generator processes into HTML is usually marked up with a lightweight [markup language] like [Markdown]. One popular modern example of a static site generator would be [http://jekyllrb.com/%|%Jekyll]. It is written in [Ruby].
