This change partially addresses issue #1019, by teaching Pelican to distinguish
between static files and content source files. A user can now safely add the
same directory to both STATIC_PATHS and PAGE_PATHS (or ARTICLE_PATHS). Pelican
will then process the content source files in that directory normally, and
treat the remaining files as static, without copying the raw content source
files to the output directory. (The OUTPUT_SOURCES setting still works.)
In other words, images and markdown/reST files can now safely live together.
To keep those files together in the generated site, STATIC_SAVE_AS and
PAGE_SAVE_AS (or ARTICLE_SAVE_AS) should point to the same output directory.
There are two new configuration settings:
STATIC_EXCLUDES=[] # This works just like PAGE_EXCLUDES and ARTICLE_EXCLUDES.
STATIC_EXCLUDE_SOURCES=True # Set this to False to get the old behavior.
Two small but noteworthy internal changes:
StaticGenerator now runs after all the other generators. This allows it to see
which files are meant to be processed by other generators, and avoid them.
Generators now include files that they fail to process (e.g. those with missing
mandatory metadata) along with all the other paths in context['filenames'].
This allows such files to be excluded from StaticGenerator's file list, so they
won't end up accidentally published. Since these files have no Content object,
their value in context['filenames'] is None. The code that uses that dict has
been updated accordingly.
Updating docs for EXTRA_PATH_METADATA to clarify that OS-specific path
separators must be used as keys, unlike some other Pelican variables.
Refs # 1133.
When working on my site, I wanted SLUGIFY_SOURCE, but I came across PATH_METADATA first and enabled that for a while. Better to include the cross-reference where people can find it.
In Python 3, the simpleHTTPServer has moved into the http module, so the command `python -m simpleHTTPServer no longer works. This minor change adds instructions for those of us using Python 3.
Typogrify interferes with certain sections of the output that it should not touch (see #1407 for more details).
This feature adds a setting called TYPOGRIFY_IGNORE_LIST which is a list of tag for Typogrify to ignore.
The following was updated:
1. readers.py - if TYPOGRIFY_IGNORE_TAGS is present, then use it
2. settings.ps - default TYPOGRIFY_IGNORE_TAGS to []
3. contents/article_with_code_block.rst - an article with a code block for typogrify to ignore
4. updated tests
5. updated documentation
Old system was using manual string formatting for log messages.
This caused issues with common operations like exception logging
because often they need to be handled differently for Py2/Py3
compatibility. In order to unify the effort:
- All logging is changed to `logging.level(msg, arg1, arg2)` style.
- A `SafeLogger` is implemented to auto-decode exceptions properly
in the args (ref #1403).
- Custom formatters were overriding useful logging functionality
like traceback outputing (ref #1402). They are refactored to be
more transparent. Traceback information is provided in `--debug`
mode for `read_file` errors in generators.
- Formatters will now auto-format multiline log messages in order
to make them look related. Similarly, traceback will be formatted in
the same fashion.
- `pelican.log.LimitFilter` was (ab)using logging message which
would result in awkward syntax for argumented logging style. This
functionality is moved to `extra` keyword argument.
- Levels for errors that would result skipping a file (`read_file`)
changed from `warning` to `error` in order to make them stand out
among other logs.
- Small consistency changes to log messages (i.e. changing all
to start with an uppercase letter) and quality-of-life improvements
(some log messages were dumping raw object information).
