Fable web site

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Fable website generator

This project generates the static web pages for the Fable website.

If you've trouble building some native dependencies (like oniguruma) on your system, check the requirements for node-gyp installation.

How to contribute?

All the content of the website is located under the docs folder, so if you are looking.

└── style.scss          Main entry for styling the website

Code highlighting

Is done using gatsby-remark-vscode plugins.

Note: NPM complains about security warnings, unfortunaly the gatbsy teams is not really interested in upgrading their dependencies.

Because the package are only used for static website execution, we consider it "ok" for now. But a standalone plugin is in the progress in order to remove this dependency.
