* this should be the last one, as the remaining articles are not really worth preserving
** at least that is my current assessment
* updated contact page with actual content instead of filler text
|
|
* performed additional selection of which articles I want to present on this new blog implementation
* added tag symlinks accordingly
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
* otherwise it is not easily possible to add additional datasource layers between the content and result generation level
* changed meta url appropriately
|
|
* articles are tagged by symlinking them to the appropriate "tag" in the "tags" directory
* tags are resolved by the article datasource transformation
* added tags for the example articles
|
|
* articles contain the handle and date in their file name
** i.e. it is split using XPath string functions
** usage of the ISO date format provides automatic ordering
* added some articles from my blog as example data
|
|
* "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
