Archivox

Archivox is a lightweight static site generator aimed at producing documentation sites similar to "Read the Docs". Write your content in Markdown, run the generator, and deploy the static files anywhere.

Features

• Markdown based pages with automatic navigation
• Responsive layout with sidebar and search powered by Lunr.js
• Simple configuration through config.yaml
• Extensible via plugins and custom templates

Getting Started

Install the dependencies and start the development server:

npm install
npm run dev

The site will be available at http://localhost:8080. Edit files inside the content/ directory to update pages.

To create a new project from the starter template you can run:

npx create-archivox my-docs --install

Building

When you are ready to publish your documentation run:

npm run build

The generated site is placed in the _site/ folder.

Customization

• config.yaml – change the site title, theme options and other settings.
• plugins/ – add JavaScript files exporting hook functions such as onPageRendered to extend the build process.
• templates/ – modify or replace the Nunjucks templates for full control over the HTML.

Hosting

Upload the contents of _site/ to any static host. For Netlify you can use the provided netlify.toml:

[build]
  command = "npm run build"
  publish = "_site"
