Timothy DeHerrera 44e51cbdb7 docs: restructure README to explanation quadrant
Remove duplicated comparison table, inline config reference,
and content structure diagram from README — link to docs site
instead. Trim themes/README.md to attribution and theme list,
link to syntax-highlighting docs for usage and customization.

sukr

Minimal static site compiler — suckless, Rust, zero JS.

sukr transforms Markdown content into high-performance static HTML. No bloated runtimes, no client-side JavaScript, just clean output.

Why sukr?

Most static site generators punt rich content to the browser. sukr doesn't.

  • Tree-sitter syntax highlighting — Proper parsing, not regex. Supports language injection (Nix shells, HTML scripts).
  • Build-time math — KaTeX renders LaTeX to static HTML. No 300KB JavaScript bundle.
  • Build-time diagrams — Mermaid compiles to inline SVG. Diagrams load instantly.
  • Tera templates — Customize layouts without recompiling.
  • Monorepo support — Multiple sites via -c flag.

See the full feature comparison with Zola, Hugo, and Eleventy.

Quick Start

cargo build --release
sukr                         # Build with ./site.toml
sukr -c docs/site.toml       # Custom config (monorepo)

See the Getting Started guide for installation and first-site setup, Configuration for site.toml options, and Content Organization for directory layout.

Security

sukr processes content at build time only — there is no runtime attack surface.

  • Untrusted: Markdown content, frontmatter, third-party templates
  • Trusted: The compiled sukr binary, Tree-sitter grammars

Raw HTML in Markdown is passed through per CommonMark spec — review content from untrusted sources before building. Templates use Tera's auto-escaping by default.

For deployment security (CSP headers, platform configs), see the Security docs.
