title: Suggestions for an offline CMS?
body: <p>I am looking for a way to create a blog (with some other informative pages) using offline CMS.</p>
  
  <p>What I mean by "offline CMS" is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I should be able to write using a markup which is abstract (not HTML, or XML). Something like the <code>MarkDown</code> or <code>Textile</code> systems.</li>
  <li>The entries will be edited offline on my PC</li>
  <li>When I am done, I will need to (re)generate the final HTML output and rsync it to my server.</li>
  <li>For page comments, I can use something like the <code>Disqus</code> service.</li>
  <li>In effect, the final site will be static.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Nice to have feature: Support for categories, tags, and other such navigational aids.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything like this out there?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Opensource/Free, cross-platform tools preferable.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit #2</strong> Thanks to Adam, I found a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/186290/best-static-website-generator">similar question</a> on SO.</p>
