+mist
+====
+*m*inimal stat*i*c *s*i*t*e generator written in Go.
+
+mist generates static HTML pages from markdown files in a flat directory
+structure. A simple, more lightweight solution for basic static sites.
+
+mist includes a built-in web server.
+
+Usage
+-----
+Generate static site:
+ go run mist.go [-i input_dir] [-o output_dir] [-t template_file]
+
+Serve generated site:
+ go run mist.go -s port_number
+
+Options:
+ -i string input directory (default ".")
+ -o string output directory (default "out")
+ -t string template file (default "page.tmpl")
+ -s string serve on port (-s 8080)
+
+Template Variables
+------------------
+provides the following template variables:
+
+ .Title string // page title (filename without .md extension)
+ .Content string // HTML content from markdown
+ .Nav []string // array of other markdown files in directory
+
+Example template usage:
+ <h1>{{.Title}}</h1>
+ <div>{{.Content}}</div>
+ <nav>
+ {{range .Nav}}
+ <a href="{{.}}.html">{{.}}</a>
+ {{end}}
+ </nav>
+
+Features
+--------
+- Flat directory structure
+- Built-in development server
+- Simple Go template system
+- Minimal dependencies
