Overview
Eleventy is a “simpler static site generator” that was created to be a JavaScript alternative to the Ruby-based Jekyll. It’s “zero config” by default and doesn’t require a particular directory structure.

Markup
Eleventy has native support for Markdown through the (CommonMark-compliant)

there is discussion about adding Custom File Extension Handlers.
