Luapress is yet another static site generator, written in Lua, with posts in markdown. It's simple, fast and supports both plugins and templates.

Install with Luarocks:

luarocks install luapress

Create a new site in some directory (you can optionally specify --template "etlua" or --template "lhtml" to use the etlua or LHTML default template over the mustache one):

luapress init URL [--template "etlua"]

Drop Markdown files in posts/ & pages/ and build with:

luapress

Now, just upload the contents of build/ to the web.

Luapress offers many other features, which are documented on it's website:

• Markdown extras
• Config options
• Environments
• Templates
• Plugins

I'm using it for my blog, Pointless Ramblings. The Luapress website itself is also powered by Luapress :).
