For DITA there are a number of static site generators, most (if not all) based on the \
DITA Open Toolkit's base XHTML or HTML5 transforms.

For example, the DITA for Publishers HTML5 transform includes facilities for \
integrating whatever HTML5 theme components you want to set up with the content HTML \
generated from your DITA source. We also started working out some ways to use DITA \
maps and topics to define the overall structure of the Web site, but there's been \
less demand for that. Mostly it's been used to produce HTML versions of manuals that \
are then published to a larger corporate Web site.

The DITA Open Toolkit's documentation is published in a similar way but using a \
purpose-built process.

Cheers,

Eliot

    One thing I've noticed a big uptick in lately are static site generators, where \
you use a CLI app to create a site template and you use the tool features (typically \
the language features the CLI was written in) to put the site elements (themes, \
templates, content, etc.) together, and then use the tool to compile, deploy and host \
the site itself. You can find a list of them by popularity rankings here: \
https://www.staticgen.com/ If you look at the site generators, you see them written \
in Javascript, Go, .NET, PHP, Python; even bash and awk have a couple. But only one \
(Stog) have anything to do with XML.   
    Does anyone know of any static site generators written around the XML format? I \
know of one on the .NET side for product documentation (Sandcastle) but it's \
increasingly becoming an obsolete framework (mainly because of the awful tags \
Microsoft put into its MAML markup language). Are there any others out there?
