ABlog for blogging with Sphinx

Project description

ABlog for Sphinx
================

ABlog is a Sphinx extension that converts any documentation or personal
website project into a full-fledged blog with:

* `Atom feeds`_
* `Archive pages`_
* `Blog sidebars`_
* `Disqus integration`_
* `Font-Awesome integration`_
* `Easy GitHub Pages deploys`_

.. _Atom feeds: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/blog/atom.xml
.. _Archive pages: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/blog/
.. _Blog sidebars: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/manual/ablog-configuration-options/#sidebars
.. _Disqus integration: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/manual/ablog-configuration-options/#disqus-integration
.. _Font-Awesome integration: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/manual/ablog-configuration-options/#fa
.. _Easy GitHub Pages deploys: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/manual/deploy-to-github-pages/

.. _installation:

Installation
------------

You can install ABlog using pip_::

pip install -U ablog

This will also install `Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_, Alabaster_,
Werkzeug_, and Invoke_ respectively required for building your website,
making it look good, generating feeds, and running deploy commands.

.. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io
.. _Werkzeug: http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/
.. _Alabaster: https://github.com/bitprophet/alabaster
.. _Invoke: http://www.pyinvoke.org/

Getting Started
---------------

If you are starting a new project, see `ABlog Quick Start`_ guide.

If you already have a project, enable blogging by making following changes in ``conf.py``:

.. code-block:: python

# 1. Add 'ablog' to list of extensions
extensions = [
'...',
'ablog'
]

# 2. Add ablog templates path
import ablog

# 2a. if `templates_path` is not defined
templates_path = [ablog.get_html_templates_path()]

# 2b. if `templates_path` is defined
templates_path.append(ablog.get_html_templates_path())


.. _ABlog Quick Start: http://ablog.readthedocs.org/manual/ablog-quick-start

How it works
------------

If you are new to Sphinx_ and reStructuredText markup language,
you might find `reStructuredText Primer`_ useful. Once you have
content (in ``.rst`` files), you can post *any page* using the
``post`` directive as follows:

.. code-block:: rst

.. post:: Apr 15, 2014
:tags: earth, love, peace
:category: python
:author: me
:location: SF
:language: en

ABlog will index all files posted as above and list them in archives and feeds
specified in ``:tag:``, ``:category:``, etc. options.

You can also include a list of posts using ``postlist`` directive:

.. code-block:: rst

.. postlist::
:list-style: circle
:category: Manual
:format: {title}
:sort:

For ABlog documentation, this converts to the following where you
can find more about configuring and using ABlog:

.. postlist::
:category: Manual
:list-style: circle
:format: {title}
:sort:
