# Introducing MarkoPress

We’re excited to introduce MarkoPress, a general-purpose static site generator powered by Marko.js v6!

# Why MarkoPress?

MarkoPress was built to bring the power of Marko.js to the world of static site generation. While tools like VitePress and Docusaurus are great, we wanted something that:

1. Uses the powerful Marko.js templating engine
2. Provides full TypeScript support out of the box
3. Has a flexible plugin system
4. Supports existing content from VitePress and Docusaurus

# Key Features

# Markdown + Frontmatter

Write your content in Markdown with YAML frontmatter, just like you’re used to:

---
title: My Post
description: This is my post
date: 2024-01-11
tags: [news, updates]
---

# File-based Routing

Your content structure automatically becomes your site structure:

content/
├── pages/
│   └── index.md        → /
├── guides/
│   └── guide.md        → /guides/guide
└── blog/
    └── 2024-01-11.md   → /blog/2024-01-11

# Plugin System

Extend MarkoPress with plugins for additional functionality:

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    '@markopress/plugin-content-blog',
    ['my-custom-plugin', { option: 'value' }],
  ],
});

# Theme System

Customize your site with theme overrides:

my-site/
└── .markopress/
    └── theme/
        └── layouts/
            └── docs.marko

# Getting Started

Install MarkoPress and create your first site:

npm install markopress
npx markopress init my-site
cd my-site
npm run dev

# What’s Next?

We’re actively developing MarkoPress and have many exciting features planned:

• Enhanced plugin ecosystem
• More theme options
• Improved performance
• Better tooling and documentation

Stay tuned for more updates!
