About this project

Zola is a static site generator that turns content and templates into static websites. It is distributed as one binary with its functionality built in, and the project describes itself as fast. Templates are powered by Tera. Documented features include syntax highlighting, Sass compilation, co-located assets, basic multilingual site support, image processing, themes, internal link handling, an external link checker, automatic table of contents generation, header anchors, aliases, pagination, custom taxonomies, and search that works without a server or third-party service. The local serve workflow provides live reload. The project provides deployment guidance for platforms including Netlify, Vercel, and Cloudflare Pages. Documentation is available on the Zola website, in the repository's docs/content folder, and through a community forum. Licensing is mixed: code introduced after version 0.22 is licensed under EUPL-1.2, while code existing before the specified commit remains under the MIT License, including in later versions.
