Like everyone in the world, I have made a static site generator. It is a well-known fact that using someone else's static site generator is gauche. Mine has the added benefit of not being all that static. Whenever I save a new site .org file, my server regenerates it automatically. The actual hosting is, of course, actually static. It uses Make and Pandoc to generate web pages from whatever, even word documents. I do not do that though, because I prefer to write my nonsense in Emacs.
Anyway.
GNU Make is pretty cool, aside from its main flaw: It cannot deal with whitespace at all. I believe an inability to have whitespace in file names might even be symptomatic of make being involved in the build process of a site. Take, for example, the site of Emacs Wiki. Tons of pages with manes like `HowToNavigate` and the like. It is mildly funny to me that this site supports whitespace in page tag names, but not in the filenames of the Org files it is compiled from.
