Luc’s Linux Blog goes online

Adapted my local llb project to use it for blogging about everything related to free software (other than my own projects). Opened a new ticket /tickets/1. This ticket was in fact the reason to revitalize this blog ;-)

Later (in 2015) I merged the llb entries into my general blog.

Adding tags to my blog

These last days I have been thinking and experimenting on the question docs/tickets/88: Nikola, Fiddling with my own Sphinx extensions, identi.ca, Wordpress.

Probably the important thing missing on my current documentation and bloging system is a possibility to “tag” entries (or alternatively to print a list of articles that refer to a given place).

Now I discovered sphinxcontrib-taglist, which seems to be the solution.

Hm, but I cannot figure out how to get this working. I tried the following:

  • inserted some tags to the present page using either the tag role (lets insert blog and docs for this page) or the tag directive.

  • I created a new page /docs/ref/tags.rst with a taglist directive.

The tags are nicely formatted as tags should be, but they are not clickable, and the /ref/tags page does not give a list of tagged entries.

Tried cloning from Github and using the development version instead of the released version. No difference. Sent a mail to the author.

atelier.fablib: The fab blog command now also works in docs-only projects like llb which have no Python code at all.
