Eleventufte

Overview:

Eleventufte is a lightweight and customizable static site generator that combines the tufte-css CSS library and Webfont package with the tufte-markdown project to offer a Tufte-like blogging experience. It provides a simple home page, colophon and contact pages, individual post pages, an archive of posts by year, and several feeds for syndication. While it may not be suitable for a feature-rich blog, it is a great starting point for creating text-heavy content with footnotes, figures, and a sensible content hierarchy.
