Version 0.8.2

A brand new hyde

This is the new version of hyde under active development. Hyde documentation is a work in progress.

Hyde starter kit by merlinrebrovic is a really nice way to get started with hyde.

Installation

To get the latest released version:

pip install hyde

For the current trunk:

pip install -e git://github.com/hyde/hyde.git#egg=hyde

Creating a new hyde site

The following command:

hyde -s ~/test_site create

will create a new hyde site using the test layout.

Generating the hyde site

cd ~/test_site
hyde gen

Serving the website

cd ~/test_site
hyde serve
open http://localhost:8080

Publishing the website

cd ~/test_site
hyde publish -p github

Hyde supports extensible publishers. Right now only github is implemented. The hyde documentation is published to github pages using this command with the following configuration:

publisher:
    github:
        type: hyde.ext.publishers.dvcs.Git
        path: ../hyde.github.com
        url: [email protected]:hyde/hyde.github.com.git

Note

Currently, the initial path must have clone of the repository already in place for this command to work.

A brief list of features

1. Support for multiple templates (although only Jinja2 is currently implemented)
2. The different processor modules in the previous version are now replaced by a plugin object. This allows plugins to listen to events that occur during different times in the lifecycle and respond accordingly.
3. Metadata: Hyde now supports hierarchical metadata. You can specify and override variables at the site, node or the page level and access them in the templates.
4. Organization: The sorter, grouper and tagger plugins provide rich meta-data driven organizational capabilities to hyde sites.
5. Syntactic Sugar: Because of the richness of the plugin infrastructure, hyde can now provide additional syntactic sugar to make the content more readable. See blockdown and syntext plugin for examples.
