Linker

This plugin allows to define custom linker commands in analogy to the builtin {filename}, {attach}, {category}, {tag}, {author}, and {index} syntax.

Provided commands (each of which in its own submodule)

{mailto}

Purpose: Helps to create mailto: links with javascript (JS) on top of a non-JS fallback.

• How the HTML code is replaced step by step

  • your code in a content file (page or article):

    <a href="{mailto}webmaster" rel="nofollow">Send me a mail</a>
    

  • plugin replacement (after computing 'jroznfgre' = rot_13('webmaster')):

    <a href="/mailto/jroznfgre/" rel="nofollow">Send me a mail</a>
    

  • result of a JS-powered transform (which you could add):

    <a href="mailto:webmaster@example.com" rel="nofollow">Send me a mail</a>
    

  • As a fallback for users without JS, the static page mailto/jroznfgre/index.html is generated using the template mailto_fallback.

• Usage instruction

  • activate nested {mailto} plugin using

    PLUGINS = ['linker.mailto']
    

  • provide the mailto_fallback template (accessing mailto which is injected into the template)

  • optionally, add some JS to improve the user experience as sketched above
