# 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.
## Features
- **Syntax highlighting** — Tree-sitter with language injection (Nix→Bash, HTML→JS/CSS)
- **Math rendering** — LaTeX to HTML via KaTeX at build time
- **Mermaid diagrams** — Rendered to inline SVG, no client JS
- **Tera templates** — Customize without recompiling
- **Hierarchical navigation** — Nested sections with table of contents
- **Atom feeds** — Auto-generated for blog sections
- **Sitemap** — SEO-ready XML sitemap
- **CSS minification** — LightningCSS optimization
- **Monorepo support** — Multiple sites via `-c` flag
