The programs to generate a web site available in 2018 did not satisfy my expectations but I felt that most of the tools required where available. Thus I embarked on building Yet Another Static Site Generator with the distinct properties:

• includes an searchable index to my publications for download which is produced from a bibtex database.
• produces for all web pages a printable pdf file,
• deals reasonably with a homepage using multiple languages (in my case american englishtechnically en_US
  
  and swiss-style germanaka hauchdeutsch, technically de_CH meaning not to use ss in stead of ß
  
  ),
• follows the page layout promoted by Edward Tufte,
• adapts to varying screen sizes using the w3c templates

It is written in Haskell und uses as much as possible well tested tools, e.g.

• pandoc to convert the pages to HTML and pdf,

• shake program for changed inputs.

• w3c templates

  Observations during testing of other static site generators available a few years ago lead to a set of goals for my own.
