The abs-models.org website source

This is the source code for the abs-models.org website. The site is built using Hugo, and deployed both inside collaboratory docker containers and at https://abs-models.org/.

Testing changes

Run hugo server and open a browser at localhost:1313 to test changes locally.

Updating the theme

Newer hugo releases might emit warnings or errors for our theme. In that case:

• remove themes/hugo-theme-relearn
• in themes/, run git clone https://github.com/McShelby/hugo-theme-relearn
• remove the directory themes/hugo-theme-relearn/.git

Deploying on the website

The website is deployed into the repository https://github.com/abstools/abstools.github.io. If that repository is checked out in the same directory as this one, the following command will prepare a new version:

hugo --cleanDestinationDir -d ../abstools.github.io/

To deploy, commit and push the changes in the abstools.github.io repository.

Updating the manual

The static/manual/ subdirectory is updated manually for each release of the basic tools. See https://github.com/abstools/abstools/blob/master/RELEASE.md for instructions on how to update the language manual.

Linking to files in tutorials

The files in https://github.com/abstools/absexamples/tree/master/collaboratory are automatically installed in the collaboratory and can be linked from tutorials in this site.

To create a link that opens such a file in the collaboratory, use the eifilelink shortcode, which opens the specified file in the collaboratory in a new tab. The eifilelink shortcode comes in two variants, with positional and named parameters.

With positional parameters, the first parameter gives the relative url of the file and the second parameter the link text. If an app is to be specified, append it to the relative url.

{{< eifilelink "/collaboratory/hello_world.abs&app=cost" "hello_world.abs" >}}

With named parameters, the path parameter gives the relative path. The title parameter gives the link text; it is set to the filename if omitted. The app parameter gives the app to select; it can be omitted.

{{< eifilelink path="/collaboratory/hello_world.abs" app="cost" title="The hello world example" >}}
