Major changes! See full log. * Changes Hakyll "site.hs" * Added the ability to have per-page templates (for all "pages/") ** "pages/" can now be sectioned off into blocks A section is a logical division of a page. It removes the requirement for pages that have multiple sections to have some html in the markdown for the page or to move some of the markdown content to the template. Both of which are un-maintainable. There are two types of sections, both with slightly different syntax's. A _global section_ is a section who's content will be included in all sections (regardless of ordering). This is handy for including links and footnotes that might be needed in more then one section or non-section . It is not accessible from the Context obtained from genSectionContext. To indicate where a global section begins and ends use "$section$" and "$endsection$" respectively (without quotes). Formally: $section$ <body> $endsection$ A _named section_ is a section of a document that can be accessed by a given name from the context obtained from the function genSectionContext. To specify a named section use the following syntax: $section("<name>")$ <body> $endsection$ where <name> is the name of the section (any character except \") and <body> is the section body Anything that is not a section is referred to as a non-section. These are still important as they will include all content of the global sections of the document as well as the non-section itself. To be a little more formal a non-section is everything between "$end-section$" and ("$section$ or $section("<name>")$"). * Example: mypage.markdown page title ========== $section("column-one")$ This is text that can be formatted in the individual page template located at "templates/pages/mypage.haml". Here is a link from a global section. See [Home][]. $endsection$ This is some text in between two sections or a section and the top or bottom of the page. It can be accessed by $body<n>$ where <n> its position from the top of all non-sections starting from 0. Here i can also use $section$ [Home]: http://blog.rekahsoft.ca $endsection$ * To see more visit - "pages/<name>" where the sectioned page markdown is written - "templates/pages/<name>.haml" where the individual page template is stored/loaded from - "templates/page.haml" the generic page wrapper Miscellaneous * Reorganized the file structure - created folder "image-src" for image-sources - created folder "lib" for libraries that will be needed on the server - moved jQuery and Skeleton to lib and made appropriate - created folder "fonts" for FreeMono and FreeSans font files which are now used via css @font-face - create folder "css" and setup "site.hs" to minimize all css files and publish them to idRoute - created folder "sass" which contains a variety of s[ac]ss files along with a file named "default.s[ax]ss" which will be processed by sass to include any other s[ac]ss files that are needed and output "default.css" to the site root * cleaned up .gitmodules ** Javascript - fixed processing of urls - temporarily disabled nojs version of site as its under heavy development Note: still need to merge changes made to default version into the nojs one; specifically having "templates/pages/.haml" be applied to there respective page before "templates/page.haml" is applied to the result * Styling - switched to using sass (with a side bourbon) instead of css leaving css folder and processing for convenience - slimmed the site of the nav-loading image - updated favicon (rounded corders, preparing to support more sizes) - updated the logo-banner - added new images for tab page Templates - converted all "templates/" to haml and made the apropriate adjustments in site.hs - added "templates/pages/" which contains individual templates per page in "pages/" Known Issues Sections cannot contain $section$ or $section("<name>")$ or $sectionend$ in them (this is an issue with escaping in the parser) pagination has been attempted but no solution yet haven't been able to generate two sets of tag-pages (one for the default version and the other for the nojs version ** opening a internal link in a new tab in any browser will load the snippet that would normally loaded by by ajax Signed-off-by: Collin J.
