Zero configuration
Point pagers at a folder of Markdown and it builds a complete site — sidebar navigation, clean trailing-slash URLs, and an "On this page" outline are generated for you.
Markdown docs, compiled to static HTML — in one Rust binary
pagers turns a folder of .md files into a fast, self-contained static site: navigation, themes, clean URLs and a page graph included. No Node, no runtime, no server.

Everything a docs site needs.
Sensible defaults, real output — each feature is one flag or zero flags away.
GitHub-flavoured Markdown
Tables, task lists, footnotes, alerts, fenced code with per-language accents, and {#custom-ids} — rendered by pulldown-cmark, no JavaScript required.
Eight themes, light & dark
A compiled md.css with light, dark and six colour palettes. Theme follows the OS by default, with a one-click toggle persisted in localStorage.
Built-in page graph
Every build emits graph.html — an interactive map of how your pages link to each other — plus graph.json and Graphviz DOT for further analysis.
Landing pages too
pagers landing builds a whole single-page site — marketing, waitlist, docs hub, linktree — from one landify.yaml, with 12 layouts and 64 themes.
Wikipedia importer
pagers wiki convert turns any Wikipedia article into clean local Markdown, rewriting internal links to filenames so whole wikis become browsable sites.
MCP server
pagers-mcp exposes build, serve and site inspection as MCP tools — let your editor or agent work with the docs directly.
pagers vs docsify.
Same Markdown-in, docs-out idea — opposite rendering model.
| docsify | pagerspick | |
|---|---|---|
| Rendering | In the browser at runtime | Ahead of time → static HTML |
| JavaScript required | Required | None for content |
| Hosting | Needs correct SPA fallback | Any static host |
| Offline / cacheable | Only the shell | Fully |
| Search engines | Limited | Full HTML + sitemap |
| Runtime | Node at build time | One Rust binary |
Up and running in under a minute.
Install the binary, point it at a Markdown folder, serve the result — or scaffold a landing page with pagers landing new.
