Fable website generator

This project generates the static web pages for the Fable website.

If you've trouble building some native dependencies (like oniguruma) on your system, check the requirements for node-gyp installation.

How to contribute?

All the content of the website is located under the docs folder, so if you are looking.

Code highlighting

Is done using gatsby-remark-vscode plugins.

Note: NPM complains about security warnings, unfortunaly the gatbsy teams is not really interested in upgrading their dependencies.

Because the package are only used for static website execution, we consider it "ok" for now. But a standalone plugin is in the progress in order to remove this dependency.

How to add a blog post?

Blog posts are located under the docs/blog folder.

1. Add your file following this convention docs/blog/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD-your blog post.md

   • YYYY represents the year

3. Write your blog post under the front-matter section. The index page will automatically updates itself based on the information your provided

Note for the maintainers

The custom layout for the blog index and blog pages are at:

• ./scripts/blog-index.jsx
• ./scripts/blog-page.jsx

If you need to customize the layout or fix something, that's the place to go.

If there is a bug on another page, then the issue should be reported on Nacara repository as it is the one hosted the "standard" layout.
