## Our Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 'pelican-plugins' and another one called 'plugins-custom'. The
|
|
|
|
|
first one, 'pelican-plugins', is linked to the offical collection of plugins from the
|
|
|
|
|
Pelican project
|
|
|
|
|
[pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/). The other
|
|
|
|
|
one, 'plugins-custom', consists of plugins that we wrote ourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Posting Content
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're using Pelican to generate a static website. The main way to add content
|
|
|
|
|
to the website is by making 'posts' in the folder `content`. This can be done
|
|
|
|
|
either locally or via the gitlab interface by creating a new file. Make sure
|
|
|
|
|
that each article contains at least the following at the top of the document:
