What is Phantomake?

Phantomake is a static site generator with specific goals:

Distributed as a single, standalone executable
When run on an existing static site, will (in most cases) output the exact same site with no changes
Can reuse common code (headers/footers/common HTML) across several pages with templates and includes
Can do pagination (e.g. for blog listings)

Phanto, the construction-hat-wearing ghost mascot of Phantomake.

Phantomake turns files like this:
