publish_html.py

Sets the articles output_html path, and saves the article's html to the output_html file.

Ouptut Directory

Output will always be written inside of the configured output_dir





        
[markata]
# markout is the default, but you can override it in your markata.toml file
output_dir = "markout"

Explicityly set the output

markata will save the articles html to the output_html specified in the articles metadata, loaded from frontmatter.

404 example use case

Here is an example use case of explicitly setting the output_html. By default markata will turn pages/404.md into markout/404/index.html, but many hosting providers look for a 404.html to redirect the user to when a page is not found.





        
---
title: Whoops that page was not found
description: 404, looks like we can't find the page you are looking for
output_html: 404.html

---

404, looks like we can't find the page you are looking for.  Try one of these
pages.

<ul>
{% for post in
    markata.map(
        'post',
        filter='"markata" not in slug and "tests" not in slug and "404" not in slug'
        )
 %}
    <li><a href="{{ post.slug }}">{{ post.title or "CHANGELOG" }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Index.md is the one special case

If you have a file pages/index.md it will become markout/index.html rather than markout/index/inject.html This is one of the primary ways that markata lets you make your home page

pre_render function

Sets the output_html in the articles metadata. If the output is explicitly given, it will make sure its in the output_dir, if it is not explicitly set it will use the articles slug.
