The Varia website is made with Pelican, a static site generator written in Python. This means that the website is first generated on a computer (using Python, Jinja and Pelican) into a set of html pages, files and images. This set of documents is then uploaded to the server.
One of the things that Pelican uses is *plugins*. They are used to add extra features to the generation process of the website.
In this repository there is a folder called 'plugins' and another one called 'plugins-custom'.
The first one, 'plugins' is linked to the offical collection of plugins from the Pelican project '[pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/)'. The 'plugins-custom' folder consists of plugins that we wrote ourself.
