nanoc extensions

This is a playground for nanoc plugins, filters and commands.

Feel free to make with them as you please.

commands/

validate.rb

A command that validates the HTML and CSS files in the output folder. It uses the W3C online validator, so it needs network access.

It requires the w3c_validators gem. Install it with

  $ gem install w3c_validators

Use it with

  $ nanoc validate

By default, it tries to validate HTML as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS as CSS 2.0. You can change the options with the -d (doctype), -c (charset) and -p (CSS profile) options. For more info on options, run

  $ nanoc help validate

plugins/

gist.rb

A simple plugin to embed Gists on your content. To embed a gist, use:

  <%= gist 8961 %>

It will include a small style definition (font: 12px Consolas) to make Gists easier to read.

path_for.rb

A nanoc plugin that returns the path of a page given its page_id (its "name")

Installation: copy to your site's lib folder.

Usage: in your ERB-enabled layout or content, use:

  <a href="<%= path_for :home %>">Home</a>

You can use a symbol or a string for your page name. Strings are nice for pages in subfolders:

  <a href="<%= path_for "blog/2008/post_name" %>">A nice post</a>

filters/

copy.rb

A dumb filter that copies a binary asset to the output folder. Coded as an example of how a binary filter works.

sips_flatten.rb

Uses the 'sips' command line tool in Mac OS X to flatten Fireworks images. Output format can be defined in the asset's YAML file using the 'flatten_format' property:

  binary: true
  filters: ['sips_flatten']
  flatten_format: 'png'

where flatten_format can be png (the default), jpeg, tiff, gif, jp2, pict, bmp, qtif, psd, sgi or tga.

It supports multiple asset representations, so you can output multiple formats by having a YAML like:

  binary: true
  filters: ['sips_flatten']
  reps:
    default:
      flatten_format: 'png'
      custom_path: /assets/image.png
    jpg:
      flatten_format: 'jpeg'
      custom_path: /assets/image.jpg

sips_thumbnail.rb

Uses the 'sips' command line tool in Mac OS X to build image thumbnails. Output format can be defined in the asset's YAML file using the 'thumbnail_format' property. Max width/height is set with the thumbnail_size property:

  binary: true
  filters: ['sips_thumbnail']
  thumbnail_format: 'png'
  thumbnail_size: 200

where thumbnail_format can be png (the default), jpeg, tiff, gif, jp2, pict, bmp, qtif, psd, sgi or tga.

It supports multiple asset representations, so you can output multiple thumbnails by having a YAML like:

  binary: true
  filters: ['sips_thumbnail']
  reps:
    big:
      thumbnail_size: 200
    medium:
      thumbnail_size: 120
    small:
      thumbnail_size: 64
