> Static site generator with the smoothness of silk

Silkie is a simple and smooth static site generator. It can parse text files (".txt") and Markdown files (".md") and generate HTML files from them.

Check out the [demo](https://oliver-pham.github.io/silkie/dist/The%20Adventure%20of%20the%20Speckled%20Band) generated from this [text file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seneca-CDOT/topics-in-open-source-2021/main/release-1/Sherlock-Holmes-Selected-Stories/The%20Adventure%20of%20the%20Speckled%20Band.txt) (with help from [new.css](https://newcss.net/)).

```
$ silkie -h

```json
{
    "input": "tests/data/text/Lorem Ipsum.txt",
    "stylesheet": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@exampledev/new.css@1.1.2/new.min.css",
    "lang": "fr"
}
