@def title = ">who_am_I"
Example:
\toc
To mark a page with tags, add:
@def tags = ["tag1", "tag2"]
then that page, along with all others that have the tag tag1
will be listed at /tag/tag1/
.
You can change how a /tag/...
page looks like by modifying the _layout/tag.html
. An important note is that you can only use global page variables (defined in config.md
).
There are three "exceptions":
- you can still use
{{ispage /tag/tagname/}} ... {{end}}
(or{{isnotpage ...}}
) to have a different layout depending on the tag, - you can use the
fd_tag
variable which contains the name of the tag so{{fill fd_tag}}
will input the tag string as is, - you can use
{{fill varname path/to/page}}
to exploit a page variable defined in a specific page.
By default the tag list is very simple: it just collects all pages that match the tags and it shows them in a simple list by anti-chronological order (more recent at the top).
You can customise this by defining your own hfun_custom_taglist
function in the utils.jl
file. The commented blueprint for the simple default setting is below and should give you an idea of how to write your own generator.
Assuming you've defined such a function, don't forget to use {{custom_taglist}}
in the _layout/tag.html
instead of the default {{taglist}}
.
function hfun_custom_taglist()::String
# -----------------------------------------
# Part1: Retrieve all pages associated with
# the tag & sort them
# -----------------------------------------
# retrieve the tag string
tag = locvar(:fd_tag)
# recover the relative paths to all pages that have that
# tag, these are paths like /blog/page1
rpaths = globvar("fd_tag_pages")[tag]
# you might want to sort these pages by chronological order
# you could also only show the most recent 5 etc...
sorter(p) = begin
# retrieve the "date" field of the page if defined, otherwise
# use the date of creation of the file
pvd = pagevar(p, :date)
if isnothing(pvd)
return Date(Dates.unix2datetime(stat(p * ".md").ctime))
end
return pvd
end
sort!(rpaths, by=sorter, rev=true)
# --------------------------------
# Part2: Write the HTML to plug in
# --------------------------------
# instantiate a buffer in which we will write the HTML
# to plug in the tag page
c = IOBuffer()
write(c, "...1...")
# go over all paths
for rpath in rpaths
# recover the url corresponding to the rpath
url = get_url(rpath)
# recover the title of the page if there is one defined,
# if there isn't, fallback on the path to the page
title = pagevar(rpath, "title")
if isnothing(title)
title = "/$rpath/"
end
# write some appropriate HTML
write(c, "...2...")
end
# finish the HTML
write(c, "...3...")
# return the HTML string
return String(take!(c))
end
For instance the default uses:
<!-- 1, 3: simple list-->
<ul>...</ul>
<!-- 2: simple list item plugging in path + title -->
<li><a href="/$rpath/">$title</a></li>
