Replace hand-rolled YAML parser (70 lines) with serde-backed toml::from_str<Frontmatter> (6 lines). Frontmatter delimiter changes from --- to +++ (Hugo TOML convention). New Frontmatter fields: - draft: bool (#[serde(default)]) for draft filtering - aliases: Vec<String> (#[serde(default)]) for URL redirects Date field upgraded from Option<String> to Option<NaiveDate> with custom deserializer for TOML native dates. Parse, don't validate: invalid dates now fail at deserialization time. Add chrono dependency with serde feature. Update cascade in sitemap.rs (NaiveDate→String at boundary), template_engine.rs (FrontmatterContext gains draft/aliases), and all 14 tests. BREAKING CHANGE: Content files must use +++ TOML frontmatter instead of --- YAML frontmatter.
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
-cflag.

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.
