Pros and cons of Pelican
Pro
- Easy to generate posts
- No need for those peksy YAML front matter (mostly)
- Pages don't have to have a date in the filename
- Automatic generation of date metadata from "mtime"
- Thus easier post updates
- Seems to generate tags / category page automatically
- Lots of theme templates available
Con
- Has a bug where an image cannot be displayed if there is a space or spaces in the filename. (Update: this bug is only for codes written in markdown)
- Title in the header metadata is compulsory
- Having to launch
virtualenvmanually before parsing files
