I think a more comprehensive list of static site generators is
https://staticsitegenerators.net/ and it includes two that I maintain which
staticgen.com does not.

I've incorporated some documents that were translated to XHTML from several XML
grammars into my static website's build system:

* https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage

A lot of it was not directly incorporated into Latemp
( http://web-cpan.shlomifish.org/latemp/ ; https://github.com/thewml/latemp )
which is its publicly published static site generator.

I recall that once upon a time an acquaintance's website was generated using
DocBook.
