I've used Pandoc.

You can generate a HTML fragment, or an HTML file, or HTML with table of contents, CSS, and footer, etc. http://pandoc.org/demos.html

It has some pretty heavy dependencies, but so far I haven't found anything better for generating a true static site from Markdown. I probably haven't looked hard enough either.

The only thing more fragile and hard to setup than a static site generator is probably pandoc. All of these are terrible Yak Shaving opportunities. Yet, I still do it.

The Pandoc site appears to provide binary downloads for the major platforms. Myself, I just always do `apt install pandoc`.

Pandoc is written in Haskell, but when built it's just a regular binary.

I use it a lot, I've collected of quite large collection of long form articles/"opinion pieces"/etc from websites and used pandoc to translate them into epub. (after manually pruning some html)
