Why do I keep seeing people that use #Emacs #OrgMode with an external static website generator, usually Hugo, to make a website? Is there something wrong with the org-publish subsystem that comes with org-mode? It seems to work well to me.

Or maybe there's nothing wrong per se with org-publish, but Hugo is somehow better? I can't really imagine Hugo is more extensible than org-publish, but maybe it's better in some other way?

Hi @oantolin ! In my case is not any better since i just dont know how hard it can be to use the org publish feature. I remember to read some org documentation long time ago it seems to me pretty convoluted to me.

So i cant really tell if its better or not. I just cant compare in a fair way. So not knowing org publish, hugo seems easier to put 5 hours and have something up and running almost out of the box.

Never the less this posts put org pusblish again into the radar. I maybe take a look into it in the future.

@texaco Huh. I think it took me a lot less than 5 hours to go from reading the org-publish documentation to having my website ready, more like 1 or 1.5 hours. (To me, you are making it sound like Hugo is hard to use! 😅)
@oantolin haha definitely i need to look into org publish. Btw im counting in the time looking for a not too bad theme.
