Markata Changelog

0.8.1

Feeds have partials

The feeds plugin now has configurable partial_template that can be used to render only the inside of the feeds page. This is indended to allow you to load small feeds into a page with htmx.

Better Jinja Templates

Markata now fully supports jinja templates with a loader that will load from your templates directory, the markata built-in templates, and from a dynamically generated templates directory in your .markata.cache directory.

cli

You can list out your templates and configuration with the following command


markata templates show

Variables

The following variables are available within jinja templates for post templates. This is now consistent accross all three built in plugins that render jinja templates.

post_template
  • __version__ - the version of markata
  • markata - the markata instance
  • config - the markata config
  • body - the body of the post
  • post - the current post object
feeds

Similarly from within rendering feeds.

  • __version__ - the version of markata
  • markata - the markata instance
  • config - the markata config
  • posts - the list of posts
  • post - a pseudo post object with title, slug, description, and date for template consistency
  • feed - the current feed object
jinja_md

Similar to posts from within jinja_md to render a markdown post as a template.

  • __version__ - the version of markata
  • markata - the markata instance
  • body - the body of the post
  • config - the markata config
  • post - the current post object

Feeds cli

The feeds cli will help show which templates each feed will be using.

Pydantic Support

breaking changes

There are a number of breaking changes going into 0.8.0. Use caution when upgrading.

glob config is now under markata.glob


- [markata]
- glob_patterns = "pages/**/*.md"
+ [markata.glob]
+ glob_patterns = "pages/**/*.md"

Feeds are now a list

Feeds are now a list of Objects within the configuration that you choose from whether its toml or yaml. Also templates_dir is now configurable, and once you have a templates dir it is better to specify templates by name relative to your templates_dir.


[markata]
templates_dir = "pages/templates"

[markata.feeds.published]
template="archive_template.html"
card_template = "feed_card.html"
filter="date<=today and templateKey in ['blog-post', 'til'] and status.lower()=='published'"
sort="date"

old


[[markata.feeds.published]]
template="pages/templates/archive_template.html"
card_template = "pages/templates/feed_card.html"
filter="date<=today and templateKey in ['blog-post', 'til'] and status.lower()=='published'"
sort="date"

new

markata.summary.filter_count is now a list

The old way was to set up a dict, where the keys were the name, now its a list of Objects with an explicit name field.


[markata.summary.filter_count.drafts]
filter="published == 'False'"
color='red'

Old


[[markata.summary.filter_count]]
name='drafts'

wikilinks

wikilinks are now enabled by default ex: [[home-page]]. This will create a link <a class="wikilink" href="/home-page/">home-page</a>. This will automagically work if you leave markata.plugins.flat_slug plugin enabled (which is by default).

ProTip: this was highly inspired by the marksman-lsp by artempyanykh, which can autocomplete post links in this style for you.

sluggify paths

python-sluggify was implemented to ensure good urls are in place despite the name of the original file.

For examples of how python-slugify will change your url's see the project's home page. One difference is that markata will leave /'s for routing in the slugs.

OPTING OUT

If you have an existing site and do not want to implement redirects or if you do not want to use slugify, you can opt out by setting slugify=False in your markata.toml.


[markata]
slugify=false

Migrating to slugify

From the command line with markata>=0.5.0 installed run the migration script from the command line to create a redirects file in the default location. This should avoid all 404's as it will create a redirects file that many static hosting providers will issue a server-side 301 for, and for those that don't, markata.plugins.redirects creates a redirect html page, that will kick in as a backup.


python -m markata.scripts.migrate_to_slugify

configurable page template

Now injects seo into the default template through configuration. Here is an example, by adding this to your markata.toml configuration.


[[markata.head.meta]]
name = "og:type"
content = "article"

[[markata.head.meta]]
name = "og:author"
content = "Waylon Walker"

[[markata.head.meta]]
name = "og:site_name"
content = "Waylon Walker"

[[markata.head.meta]]
name = "theme-color"
content="#322D39"

[[markata.head.meta]]
name = "twitter:creator"
content="@_waylonwalker"

You will end up with these meta tags in your html.


<meta name="og:type" content="article" />
<meta name="og:author" content="Waylon Walker" />
<meta name="og:site_name" content="Waylon Walker" />
<meta name="theme-color" content="#322D39" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@_waylonwalker" />

You can have an array of toml tables with a key of text. The text will be added as plain text to the end of the head of each page.


[[markata.head]]
text = """
<style>
img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
ul {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

li {
  flex: 1 2 400px;
}
</style>

"""

Descriptions will now properly end up in each page.


<meta name="description" content="{{ description }}" />

Config Overrides

Each post can override config settings such as head. New meta tags can be added to a single post, or anything that your template might reference from config.


config_overrides:
  head:
    meta:
      - content: waylonwalker
        name: author
      - content: "@_waylonwalker"
        name: "twitter:creator"
    link:
      - href: https://waylonwalker.com/that-special-post/
        rel: canonical
    text:
      - value: <link rel='stylesheet' href='/my-extra-styles.css' />

ipython extension

Markata has an ipython extension if you want ipython to automatically load with an instance of Markata mapped to m and markata you can add the following to your ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py


c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions.append('markata')

0.4.1

  • Issue FutureWarning for upcoming change to slugify change that will change urls

To keep existing behavior add this to your markata.toml.


[markata]
slugify=false

0.4.0

  • feat: add html logging with setup_logging plugin is all new closes #37
  • fix: remove HTML tidy as the site generator tag
  • feat: create configurable navbar
  • perf: prevent double runs on pre-render and post-render #39
  • perf: prevent duplicate ruun from to_dict calling pre-render #53
    • to_dict only runs up to render phase if necessary as directed by register_attr
  • perf: only prettify if configured #54
  • fix: pyinstrument will not create a second profiler causing it to end in errors #50
  • fix: sites without feeds config do not create an index #55

Double Runs

Previously markata would catch AttributeError and run the previous step any time you ran a step too early. The way this was implemented caused some steps such as pre-render and post-render to run twice with every single run.

This change will no longer catch attribute errors. If you run into any issues with your plugins not running before asking for attributes created by your plugin make sure that you implement the @register_attr decorator.

Prettify

prettify html has been turned off by default as beautifulsoup4 prettify was taking a significant time, and was often popping up as the slowest parts in my personal _profile. If you want to continue running prettify throughout the build you can set a flag in your config to continue running prettify.


[markata]
prettify_html = true

0.3.0

Skipped from a bump2version misconfiguration.

0.2.0

  • feat: auto_description plugin is all new closes #13
  • deprecated: long_description has been deprecated by auto_description
  • fix: covers plugin would previously skip every time.
  • feat: markata clean cleans up your cache and output from the command line

  • breaking: feeds config now has feeds and feeds_config
  • feat: output_html can now be specified in the frontmatter see example
  • feat: edit link is now included in the default page template closes #21

breaking change to feeds config

If you are using the 0.1.0 version of feeds, and have configured custom templates in markata.feeds.template and markata.feeds.card_template they will need to be moved to markata.feeds_config.

Here is what you need to do to update your feeds_config.


+ [markata.feeds_config]
+ template="pages/templates/archive_template.html"
+ card_template="plugins/feed_card_template.html"
- [markata.feeds]
- template="pages/templates/archive_template.html"
- card_template="plugins/feed_card_template.html"

markata.feeds will only be used to configure feeds pages.

map entire posts

post is now exposed to the markata.map object, allowing you to return a list of posts.


m = Markata()
# 'post' will return the entire post
m.map('post', filter='"git" in tags')

Customizable colors


[markata]
# default dark theme
color_bg = '#1f2022'
color_bg_code = '#1f2022'
color_text = '#eefbfe'
color_link = '#47cbff'
color_accent = '#e1bd00c9'
overlay_brightness = '.85'

# pink and purple
color_bg = 'deeppink'
color_bg_code = 'rebeccapurple'
color_text = 'white'
color_link = 'aqua'
color_accent = 'peachpuff'
overlay_brightness = '1.2'

# default light theme
color_bg_light = '#eefbfe'
color_bg_code_light = '#eefbfe'
color_text_light = '#1f2022'
color_link_light = '#47cbff'
color_accent_light = '#ffeb00'
overlay_brightness_light = '.95'

All New auto_description plugin

  • Cache is busted on plugin change
  • plugin is configurable
  • plugin now has docs

auto_description Configuration

Open up your markata.toml file and add new entries for your auto_descriptions. You can have multiple desriptions, each one will be named after the key you give it in your config.


[markata]
hooks=[
   "markata.plugins.auto_description",
   ]

[markata.auto_description.description]
len=160
[markata.auto_description.long_description]
len=250
[markata.auto_description.super_description]
len=500

In the above we will end up with three different descritpions, (description, long_description, and super_description) each will be the first number of characters from the document as specified in the config.

auto_descriptions are no longer duplicated
