# Hablo
|
|
|
|
Hablo is a minimalist tool written to generate a simple blog structure from markdown articles.
|
|
|
|
Its key principles are to keep your blog a collection of markdown files while being completely static, leveraging the fediverse to handle comments. The best image you can have of a hablo blog is a HTML/JS article viewer. Despite this heavy usage of JS, it strives to provide a clean site that can still be displayed if JS is disabled and used to get links to the markdown files themselves.

### Installation

|
|
|
Hablo is written in [haskell](https://www.haskell.org) and uses [cabal](https://www.haskell.org/cabal) for installation. The following instructions assume your version of cabal is fairly recent (≥ 1.24) please [adapt them](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/intro.html) if you're running an older version of it, for instance on a Debian Jessie (the same command without the `new-` prefix roughly work but you might want to use sandboxes — read about it).

Just issue the following line in a terminal
