Has anyone on this list had any experience with Harp (https://harpjs.com)? I am having trouble getting it re-installed and not getting much help from the developer. Alternatively, can anyone recommend a suitable substitute for it.
The package has an impressive web site; have you tried the IRC channel? After days of searching and looking at a number of static engines, I chose Pelican; I did not happen across Harp. But I kept searching, because of the logistics involved in conversion of LaTeX markup to markup which can be digested by Pelican or other static generators; everything here is done directly in LaTeX. Then I discovered latex2html, which produces web pages ready to upload, direct from LaTeX; you can't get much more static and simple than that. Caveat: latex2html lacks the bells and whistles typical of blogging engines, but those I do not require, except that I create my own RSS feed with Listgarden, a very nice Perl script which was written years ago by Dan Bricklin, inventor of the spreadsheet.
