Organise texts, image content, list/item-centred information (such as publications list, curriculum vita, exhibitions, talks, etc.) into a coherent and pleasant form for screen, presentation, print.
- Static HTML Generator
- Purely based on HTML, (inline) SVG, CSS
- Articles are registered in (multiple) rubriques
- Rubriques allow for specific spatial graphic elements and styling
- An overall Catalogue/Main index is generated...
- ... as well as sub-catalogues for each rubrique
- Efficient visual and hyperlink access via the margin of the main catalogue
Recently I have been using the generator as a substitute for Keynote/Powerpoint-Type of presentation systems:
- platform independent firm integration with web content
- more structured and, at the same time, flexible presentation style
Make the root directory of your web project the current working directory.
It has to contain these python files which define the configuration.
CFG_ContentStructure.py
CFG_FilesPaths.py
CFG_ImageContent.py
CFG_StyleDefs.py
CFG_TemplateDefs.py
TODO: If they are not present it will just throw an exception without further message. (We could use some explicit config file format which we read into python structures; alternatively, at least it could catch the exception and say something nice.)
python3 -m BroKaGen.generateKatalog -p for processing images
python3 -m BroKaGen.generateKatalog --help for help (only works in a project directory with the CFG_*.py files which is certainly not ideal (see above).
WARNING! These instructions are incomplete!
pip3 install pillow
pip3 install markdown
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
somewhere in the python module path clone/place the following packages:
git clone https://github.com/broesamle/BroKaGen.git
git clone https://github.com/broesamle/PyBroeModules.git
Assuming there is a python3 already installed and the interpreter is added to the path.
add C:\Users\<USER>\local\lib\python3\site-packages\BroKaGen to PYTHONPATH
(Replace with your user directory)
git clone https://github.com/broesamle/BroKaGen.git
git clone https://github.com/broesamle/PyBroeModules.git
as Administrator:
python -m pip install markdown
python -m pip install pillow
... it's more work-in-progress-ish than settled
Currently, only the engine is in the repo...
Making a presentation will at some point become more straight forward based on suitable templates:
- Checkout the generator
- Adapt the template
CFG_*files appropriately (Rubriques, Icons) - Define Logo
There should be logging levels so that warnings (i.e. about ignored input files) can be read separately from more general infos.
