I have a website that is written in another framework, but it is a site that can be converting into a static site I’m thinking.
It has categories, and content associated to categories.
Would jekyll be a good candidate for this? My site has basically a simple template.
does it also have a concept of categories?
Does it re-generate lists also?
I wish there was a step by step tutorial on how it is used.
Yes, you can include categories in posts in Jekyll.
Do you mean, re-generate the list of posts in a category? Jekyll does expose a
site.categoriesvariable which contains the site’s categories and all posts in each category, but you’ll have to create your own template for outputting this data.
