Assume you're teaching a non-programmer HTML/CSS basics. What's the *simplest* approach to avoid repeating yourself in related pages?

@stilkov maybe using a slim sinatra app.

@zauberfinger Way too much, would have to be installed and configured on the server.

@stilkov @zauberfinger Static page generators like jekyllrb.com/ or middlemanapp.com/ ? Both can be used on heroku.

@Argorak I had considered Jekyll for its GH Pages use. But Middleman looks interesting, too. Quite a bit of Ruby-related complexity, though

@stilkov @Argorak Or Octopress. Oldy but goldy.

@fmueller_bln @argorak That's complexity on top of Jekyll's. And Markdown or Textile isn't even needed, just HTML with some preprocessing

@stilkov Nanoc is also pretty good for generating static sites!

. @rkallensee Nice: static site generator nanoc also has an impressive list of its competitors nanoc.ws/about/

@stilkov never tried it, but maybe brochure (github.com/sstephenson/broch…) on heroku?

@stilkov I know your pain, especially in that context. Jekyll gets complex fast. Middleman is better, but far from perfect.
