I see a lot of projects in other languages for generating static web sites from dynamic engines. Things like Frank, Jekyll, Hyde, Webby and Poole.
There is a large list here:

But I can’t seem to find anything in the .NET space.
I find it an interesting angle of combining performance and usability on relatively static content like blogs.
But I can also see this as a great HTML based help generation system. And I don’t mean API documentation, for which there seems to be a hundred projects. I mean actual application documentation or other documentation.
So, any great static website generators in the .NET space?
A relatively recent development is the 52 code project Pretzel – a .Net static code generator. It is worth a look if you know Jekyll.
