## Installation
|
|
|
|
Coleslaw should run on any conforming Common Lisp implementation but
|
|
testing is primarily done on [SBCL](http://www.sbcl.org/) and
|
|
[CCL](http://ccl.clozure.com/).
|
|
|
|
Coleslaw can either be run **manually** on a local machine or
|
|
triggered **automatically** on git push to a server. If you want a
|
|
server install, run these commands on your server _after_ setting up a
|
|
[git bare repo](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server).
|
|
Otherwise, run the commands on your local machine.
|
|
|
|
1. Install a Common Lisp implementation (we recommend SBCL) and
|
|
[Quicklisp](http://quicklisp.org/).
|
|
2. Place a config file for coleslaw in your `$HOME` directory. If you
|
|
want to run multiple blogs with coleslaw, you can keep each blog's
|
|
config file in that blog's repo. Feel free to copy and edit the
|
|
[example config][ex_config] or consult the [config docs][conf_docs]
|
|
to create one from scratch.
|
|
3. This step depends on whether you're setting up a local or server install.
|
|
* Server Install: Copy and `chmod +x` the
|
|
[example post-receive hook][post_hook] to your blog's bare repo.
|
|
* Local Install: Just run the following commands in the
|
|
REPL whenever you're ready to regenerate your blog:
|
|
```
|
|
(ql:quickload :coleslaw)
|
|
(coleslaw:main "/path/to/my/blog/")
|
|
```
|
|
4. Optionally, point the web server of your liking at your config-specified
|
|
`:deploy-dir`. Or "deploy-dir/.curr" if the `versioned` plugin is enabled.
|
|
5. If you use Emacs, consider installing
|
|
[coleslaw-mode](https://github.com/equwal/coleslaw-mode) to author your
|
|
posts.
|
|
|
|
Now just write posts, git commit and build by hand or by push.

|
|
|
|
## The Content Format
|
|
|
|
Coleslaw expects content to have a file extension matching the class
|
|
of the content. (I.e. `.post` for blog posts, `.page` for static
|
|
pages, etc.)
|
|
|
|
There should also be a metadata header on all files
|
|
starting and ending with the config-specified `:separator`, ";;;;;" by
|
|
default. Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
;;;;;
|
|
title: foo
|
|
tags: bar, baz
|
|
date: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
|
|
format: html (for raw html) or md (for markdown)
|
|
excerpt: Can also be extracted from content (see :excerpt-sep config param)
|
|
;;;;;
|
|
your post
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Posts require the `title:` and `format:` fields.
|
|
Pages require the `title:` and `url:` fields.
|
|
|
|
To omit a field, simply do not have the line present, empty lines and
|
|
fields (e.g. "tags:" followed by whitespace) will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
## Theming
|
|
|
|
Two themes are provided: hyde, the default, and readable (based on
|
|
[bootswatch readable](http://bootswatch.com/readable/)).
|
|
|
|

|
## Hacking
|
|
|
|
A core goal of *coleslaw* is to be both pleasant to read and easy to
|
|
hack on and extend. If you want to understand the internals and bend
|
|
*coleslaw* to do new and interesting things, I strongly encourage you
|
|
to read the [Hacker's Guide to Coleslaw][hackers]. You'll find some
|
|
current **TODO** items towards the bottom.
