The AI-native static site generator (SSG) with executable code blocks, inspired by [Zola](https://github.com/getzola/zola) and [Quarto](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli).

## Install

```bash
curl -LsSf https://dkdc.sh/zorto/install.sh | sh
```

Verify:

```{bash}
zorto --version
```

<details>
<summary>More install options</summary>

The `curl | sh` installer above wraps `uv tool install zorto`. On Linux and macOS it pulls a pre-built wheel from PyPI that bundles the Rust engine (no compile step). Windows is not covered by the installer — use `cargo` from source or run under WSL.

**uv (PyPI wheel, no compile):**

```bash
uv tool install zorto
```

**uvx (run once without installing):**

```bash
uvx zorto
```

**cargo (build from source, requires Rust 1.85+):**

```bash
cargo install zorto
```

</details>

## Usage

```{bash}
zorto --help
```

## Slide decks

Zorto ships a reveal.js-powered presentation mode: one markdown file per slide, with frontmatter for layout, background, and transitions. Arrow keys, speaker view, fullscreen, and overview mode are built in, so a deck is just a directory of `.md` files that a human or agent can draft, reorder, or hand off without touching HTML.

- [Live intro deck](https://zorto.dev/presentations/intro-to-zorto/) — what a Zorto-built deck looks like.
- [Create a presentation](https://zorto.dev/docs/how-to/create-presentation/) — step-by-step guide.
- [Presentations concept](https://zorto.dev/docs/concepts/presentations/) — the content model behind decks.

## Executable code blocks

Use `{bash}` or `{python}` in code blocks to execute them.

```{bash}
echo "hello"
```

```{bash}
echo "Built on $(uname -s) $(uname -m) at $(date -u '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M UTC')"
```

```{python}
for i in range(5):
    print(i)
```
