Web framework for static pages

[Morten W. Petersen]

I was hoping to avoid testing a lot of different systems, spending time
there.

So that's why I'm asking here.

I don't need a guide to create a website, maybe a refresher on some topics.

Ideally I'd want a static site generator that makes it easy and quick to
create a website which is pretty, accessible, works across browsers and
standards compliant and doesn't freeze the browser on a low-end phone.

And where it is easy to override using for example plain or template HTML,
or extend programmatic features using some plugins or just subclassing.

Do you know of a XML DTD for HTML5 by the way?
