Has anyone on this list had any experience with Harp

anyone recommend a suitable substitute for it.
The package has an impressive web site; have you tried the IRC
channel?
After days of searching and looking at a number of static engines, I
chose Pelican; I did not happen across Harp.
But I kept searching, because of the logistics involved in conversion
of LaTeX markup to markup which can be digested by Pelican or other
static generators; everything here is done directly in LaTeX.
Then I discovered latex2html, which produces web pages ready to
upload, direct from LaTeX; you can't get much more static and simple
than that. Caveat: latex2html lacks the bells and whistles typical of
blogging engines, but those I do not require, except that I create my
own RSS feed with Listgarden, a very nice Perl script which was
written years ago by Dan Bricklin, inventor of the spreadsheet.
