Markdown
The next phase of website creation is really the authoring of articles. Each article is writtin in markdown language. If you are not familiar with Markdown, you should check out some resources online (links coming later). Markdown is just a language that is simplified for authoring, that can later easily be translated to markup, like html or even PDF or some other document format. But this gives the ability of authoring with the simplest text editor and then being able to easily create complex html things like tables, lists and formatting with relative ease.
table example
| This is a table example | column 2 | column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| then | something | for columns |
| another | row | too |
H1
H2
H3
H4
Each of these elements above are done by typing the following:
#### table example
|This is a table example| column 2 | column 3|
|:---:|:---:|:---:|
|then | something | for columns|
|another| row | too |
# H1
## H2
### H3
#### H4
Publishing
To publish the markdown pages as a blog article, then you would just save them in the 'content' directory of pelican, and add the following to the top of the page, so Pelican will render it correctly:
title: webpage title
slug: webpage slug
date: date of publishing
author: name of writer
category: website
summary: summary of the current blog
Once the article is complete, then you can just perform:
make devserver
and test the results to ensure it is what you are looking for. Go to http://yourip:8000 and check the page out. If all looks good and in order, then you can publish to the primary site by typing:
make ssh_upload
This should ask for your ssh credentials of the website, and then upload the fully rendered html documents.
