24CONFIG
25
26The configuration is unmarshalled from a config.yaml file, into the
27below struct:
28
29 type ConfigYaml struct {
30 Title string `yaml:"title"`
31 Desc string `yaml:"description"`
32 DefaultTemplate string `yaml:"default-template"`
33 Author struct {
34 Name string `yaml:"name"`
35 Email string `yaml:"email"`
36 } `yaml:"author"`
37 URL string `yaml:"url"`
38 }

40Example config: https://git.icyphox.sh/site/tree/config.yaml

43SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING
44
45vite uses chroma (https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma) for syntax
46highlighting. Note that CSS is not provided, and will have to be
47included by the user in the templates. A sample style can be generated
48by running:
49
50 go run contrib/style.go > syntax.css

53TEMPLATING
54
55Non-index templates have access to the below objects:
56• Cfg: object of ConfigYaml
57• Meta: map[string]string of the page's frontmatter metadata
58• Body: Contains the HTML
59
60Index templates have access to everything above, and a Posts object,
61which is a slice containing HTML and Meta. This is useful for iterating
62through to generate an index page.
63Example: https://git.icyphox.sh/site/tree/templates/index.html
64
65Templates are written as standard Go templates (ref:
66https://godocs.io/text/template), and can be loaded recursively.
67Consider the below template structure:
68
69 templates/
70 |-- blog.html
71 |-- index.html
72 |-- project/
73 |-- index.html
74 `-- project.html
75
76The templates under project/ are referenced as project/index.html.
77This deserves mention because Go templates don't recurse into
78subdirectories by default (template.ParseGlob uses filepath.Glob, and
79doesn't support deep-matching, i.e. **).
80
81More templating examples can be found at:
82https://git.icyphox.sh/site/tree/templates

85FEEDS
86
87Atom feeds are generated for all directories under pages/. So
88pages/foo will have a Atom feed at build/foo/feed.xml.

91FILE TREE
92
93 .
94 |-- build/
95 |-- config.yaml
96 |-- pages/
97 |-- static/
98 |-- templates/
99
100The entire static/ directory gets copied over to build/, and can be
101used to reference static assets -- css, images, etc. pages/ supports
102only nesting one directory deep; for example: pages/blog/*.md will
103render, but pages/blog/foo/*.md will not.
