=====================

This repository holds the bndtools.org website hosted at https://bndtools.org. This web site is maintained as markdown and turned into HTML by Jekyll using GitHub Pages.

• install ruby 2.7
• call ./run.sh on the commandline

This should install jekyll and start a local webserver at:

• http://127.0.0.1:4000/

Start editing markdown .md files. Jekyll will auto-detect changes and reload the website. Some changes require a restart (e.g. changes to _config.yml)

We use https://pagefind.app/ for our search field full text search. But it is currently not automatically working when using ./run.sh above, because it works on the actual build-output on the _site folder (which contains the actual .html pages).

To test the search locally based on the _site folder content, run:

./run-pagefind-linux.sh

or

run-pagefind-macos.sh

depending on which operating system you are using.

The result should look like:

Serving "_site" at http://localhost:1414

The script will download and execute the pagefind executable binary after the build. Then it will start a small server where you test the result. Note, that this is different than the ./run.sh and does not support real-time editing of the content.

Feel free to adjust / extend the start-scripts if you have a different architecture or to use a different pagefind version.

See the files .github/workflows/cibuild.yml and .github/scripts/docs.sh for how building the site and executing pagefind is done in the final build on github.

• jekyll uses rouge code highlighter
• see _config.yml and section syntax_highlighter_opts
• also see this website https://jekyll-themes.com/brazacz/rouge-themes for examples
• rouge is compatible with and can use 'pygments' styles (see https://pygments.org/styles/)
• these styles can be generated with the command

The following commands locally will help to generate the .css files for the pygment styles:

gem install rouge

# show a list of supported styles
rougify help style

# go to the css folder
cd css

# generate the css
rougify style monokai > monokai.css

Then reference the .css file in _includes/head.html

Feedback is always welcome. For general discussions use the bndtools-users@googlegroups.com list. We also have the bndtools-dev@googlegroups.com list for discussions on the development of bndtools.
