2015-03-22Revamped layout to be more minimalistic and readableAdrian Kummerlaender
* removed background image and as such it's fixed pixel width ** i.e. the layout is now completely dependent on the basic font size and scales accordingly * revamped master template and CSS to allow for nodes with varying lengths instead of truncating everything depending on the background width * increased font size of tag and archive pages * increased overall line height to improve readability * improved CSS to e.g. make use of `last-child` instead of adding `last` classes during static site generation * removed _microblog_ entries from archive as I have more or less stopped using _Twitter_
2015-03-11Improved navigation on small screensAdrian Kummerlaender
* extracted navigation and tag list style into `buttonlist` class * navigation is now aligned left and non-overlapping on small screens
2014-12-09Replaced function-like data resolution with template applicationsAdrian Kummerlaender
* e.g. article and tag support data is now fetched through direct _XPath_ template applications ** this required the introduction of a special `resolve` mode to prevent interaction between support and main content resolution ** in most cases arguments had to be wrapped inside helper constants to enable selection of e.g. article support data via the `@handle` attribute using the current elements `@handle` attribute * analogously to the recent changes in _StaticXSLT_ this commit aims to improve the XSLT code style used in generating this static website
2014-10-29Removed remnants of layout iteration and cleaned CSSAdrian Kummerlaender
* both the CSS and master template markup contained cruft from the previous blog version and its slightly different layout * removed unnecessary distinction between footer and its _taglist_ as the old footer element is now only a _taglist_ ** promoted previous `last_line` to `footer` as it is the actual footer * unified the different list styles as much as possible ** e.g. introduced new `topline` attribute instead of declaring the title-separator line for each style separately ** removed `taglist` class by declaring its rules directly in the `tags` id ** removed now unnecessary `archivtag` class ** introduced `sparselist` class which enables list such as the one contained the latest microblog entries to have extra padding * merged `list_tags` helper template into primary master template ** this separation was not only unnecessary but decreased the readability as it provided no real encapsulation
2014-10-28Added description meta tag to master templateAdrian Kummerlaender
* eliminated `last_item` list item class by fixing its padding
2014-10-12Updated website project page and added StaticXSLT pageAdrian Kummerlaender
* this was done to match the recent extraction of the generic static site generation framework into a separate project
2014-09-12Changed footer source link to project the appropriate project pageAdrian Kummerlaender
2014-09-11Fixed XHTML namespace generationAdrian Kummerlaender
* all datasources are generated as namespace-less XML * the resulting documents have to define the XHTML namespace ** i.e. the article and page contents have to be copied into the XHTML namespace * implemented XHTML copy helper templates * modified page templates accordingly * defined XHTML namespace in the master template
2014-09-11Expanded formatter embellishment templatesAdrian Kummerlaender
* XHTML elements "h2" and "h3" are replaced with "h3" and "h4" respectively ** modified all existing contents accordingly ** this was done to avoid the gap between the primary heading and subheadings in the markdown depiction of the contents * fleshed out the InputXSLT project page with further information
2014-09-10Added faviconAdrian Kummerlaender
* modified master transformation accordingly * fixed small syntax and grammer error in about page content ** missing dot and missing "and"
2014-09-09Removed unnecessary absolute linksAdrian Kummerlaender
* there is no reason for generating absolute links as the resulting pages will be served on their own domain
2014-09-09Changed footnote link to point to the sites repositoryAdrian Kummerlaender
2014-09-04Extracted formatter functionality into formatter helper stylesheetAdrian Kummerlaender
* functionality for formatting markdown using kramdown and embellishing the result with e.g. syntax highlighting is required for all content types
2014-08-24Implemented basic generation summaryAdrian Kummerlaender
* "summarize.xsl" processes the result-tree of "process.xsl" and outputs a basic plain-text summary ** the plain-text summary is returned as the sole result of calling "make.xsl" * this approach should be easily extensible into i.e. a verbose version in the future * unraveled "make.xsl" structure into separate variables
2014-08-23Revamped source tree traversionAdrian Kummerlaender
* this was done to be able to implement directory symlinking * the generation process is now split into three transformations ** the actual work is performed by "list.xsl" and "traverse.xsl" respecitively ** "make.xsl" wraps these two transformations *** i.e. generation is now launched by executing "ixslt --transformation make.xsl" * checked background images into VCS
2014-08-18Implemented basic cleaning and linking facilitiesAdrian Kummerlaender
* e.g. removing the target directory before each regeneration and symlinking CSS files ** this will be extended to include ressource directories and so on * renamed "formatter.xsl" stylesheet to "helper.xsl" as it now includes various helper templates * finally checked the main CSS into the VCS
2014-08-17Updated formatter helper templateAdrian Kummerlaender
* recent changes in InputXSLT revamped "external-text-formatter" into a general "external-command" function * this changes were implemented to enable e.g. symlinking and copying files from the source to the target
2014-08-11Implemented page categorization functionalityAdrian Kummerlaender
* expanded "02_data/pages.xsl" transformation to include pages in subfolders * "03_meta/categories.xsl" transformation generates a categorized view of all pages simmilar to the one provided for tags by "03_meta/tags.xsl" * "99_result/category/category.xsl" transformation generates category overview pages * added basic project related pages inside the "projects" category
2014-08-10Minor improvements to article, stream and master transformationAdrian Kummerlaender
* wrap text in "xsl:text elements to clean up the output
2014-08-10Switched content formatter to kramdownAdrian Kummerlaender
* implemented language selection for automatic syntax highlighting ** language selection requires the language to be used to be passed as a class of the code element ** kramdown enables easy definition of this class attribute * kramdown offers more functionality such as table and class attribute support * updated all articles accordingly
2014-08-06Improved automatic source code highlightingAdrian Kummerlaender
* disable indentation in both the page and datasource master stylesheets ** indentation was interfering with correct output of formatted code * simplified call to formatter helper template
2014-08-04Changed base url and url schemeAdrian Kummerlaender
* base url is now a local webserver for more realistic testing ** i.e. otherwise the atom feed is not served correctly * article, page, tag and stream pages are now generated as "index.html" inside appropriately named directories ** this is needed for pretty urls that actually work
2014-07-28Implemented basic atom feed transformationAdrian Kummerlaender
* atom was choosen in favor of RSS mainly because it is not easily possible to generate the required RSS timestamp in xalan-c (day of the week required) * modified master template accordingly
2014-07-27Improved article stream title-text templateAdrian Kummerlaender
* returns "Start" for the first page instead of "Page 0" ** this corresponds to the navigation * changed "Start" navigation link in master template * i.e. the index page is named "0", server config will have to be changed accordingly ** thought about generating it as "index" directly ** while this is possible using the XPath evaluation functionality of the target meta attribute the lack of a if-statement in XPath 1.0 would require a very ugly workaround (e.g. the answer to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/971067/is-there-an-if-then-else-statement-in-xpath)
2014-07-27Implemented article stream generationAdrian Kummerlaender
* stream transformation is iterated over the paginated article datasource implemented in 854eab6 * stream template contains navigation generation for traversing the article stream
2014-07-26Removed unnecessary namespace declarationsAdrian Kummerlaender
* xalan and/or InputXSLT namespace should only be included when they are actually required
2014-07-26Added meta datasourceAdrian Kummerlaender
* merges the content of the "00_content/meta.xml" file with additional data such as the available tags * simplifies providing a basic datasource to every result transformation * modified master, article and tag page template accordingly
2014-07-26Included unaugmented tag datasource into the page footerAdrian Kummerlaender
* the master template generates a list of all available tags into the footer ** this currently requires the unaugmented tags datasource to be included into every template making use of the master template
2014-07-25Added root variable to datasource templateAdrian Kummerlaender
* this was done to simplifiy support data queries while resolving the main datasource
2014-07-25Changed master template text elements to EnglishAdrian Kummerlaender
2014-07-25Moved result transformations into "99_result"Adrian Kummerlaender
* otherwise it is not easily possible to add additional datasource layers between the content and result generation level * changed meta url appropriately
2014-07-20Implemented new "layered" site generation architectureAdrian Kummerlaender
* "source" directory contains layers as subdirectories ** ordered by their name ** e.g. layer 0 is "00_content" and contains the content alongside some metadata * transformations contained within the "source" layers are processed sequentally * transformations define their requirements in a "meta" variable ** the "meta" variable is interpreted by the core transformation "generate.xsl" * requirements are currently datasources and target information ** every transformation may have one datasource of type "main" *** this data source offers e.g. the option to iterate over it ** every transformation may have a arbitrary number of "support" datasources *** e.g. "meta" is a support datasource ** the target node may provide a fixed target path or a Xpath to be evaluated * the result of each transformation is written to the appropriate layer of the "result" directory * this approach to XSLT based static site generation should be quite flexible and offer good expandability ** e.g. adding new datasource options and types
2014-07-19Reactivated basic page generationAdrian Kummerlaender
* page template is called by the pages compiler * modified master transformation to match new meta structure * the context variable needed by the context transformation now has to be defined in every template using the transformation ** this is needed to accomodate different input DOM structures
2014-07-17Implemented basic page compilation facilitiesAdrian Kummerlaender
* templates in 'template/compiler' are automatically generated ** required datasources are extracted and merged automatically ** 'pages.xsl' is currently a dummy compiler * moved context helper templates into context stylesheet * added compiler directory to meta DOM * modified generator and transformer helper templates to enable usage of DOM as input
2014-07-16Added datasource master templateAdrian Kummerlaender
* handles basic output structure * provides XSLT standard template "text()/@*" redefinition to prevent unwanted output of unmatched elements
2014-07-14Initial commit of basic generator structureAdrian Kummerlaender
* including example data and current "/home/adrian" layout
