Getting Started

Features

Article Generator creates blank blog articles with some basic elements filled in for you on a Pelican static web site.

The articles are generated in your choice of Markdown or Restructured Text format.

More about Mastering Markdown.

It fills in a selection of tags into the article file based on your input in the “Create a new article” form.

These tags include:

• Title: The title for your article
• Date: The date for the article (defaults to today’s date)
• Category: The article category based on the sub-folder names underneath the content folder.
• Tags: A comma separated list of tags for your article.
• Author(s): The author or a comma separated list of authors.
• Status: Flag used by Pelican to determine the visibility of the article.
• Summary: An initial paragraph for your article.

There is an option to include a section for a food recipe as a kind of blog post.
