Extensions
Note that, aside from the title, none of this article metadata is mandatory: if the date is not specified and
- If Typogrify library is installed, typographical enhancements may be enabled in the settings file
- pygments for syntax highlightning
- Pelican also supports Markdown Extensions, which might have to be installed
separately if they are not included in the default
Markdownpackage and can be configured and loaded via theMD_EXTENSIONSsetting - pelican-plugins repository contains more additional plugin
Note that, aside from the title, none of this article metadata is mandatory: if the date is not specified and
DEFAULT_DATE is set to 'fs', Pelican
will rely on the file’s “mtime” timestamp, and the category can be determined
by the directory in which the file resides. A file located at
python/foobar/myfoobar.rst will have a category of foobar. If you would
like to organize your files in other ways where the name of the subfolder would
not be a good category name, you can set the setting USE_FOLDER_AS_CATEGORY
to False.CachingWhen experimenting with different settings (especially the metadata
ones) caching may interfere and the changes may not be visible. In
such cases disable caching with LOAD_CONTENT_CACHE = False or
use the --ignore-cache command-line switch.
