I'd see htttrack as more of a spiderering tool, for downloading an
existing site. Like wget but more specialised. It's pretty great.

I _think_ this project refers more to generating the HTML in the first

languages have something similar and it's often a great
my-first-running-application place to start with a new language. As
inspiration for that sort of thing:
