Sources of the GLSP Website

This page hosts the sources of eclipse.dev/glsp. We use the Syna thema for Hugo

Please check the Syna documentation. The Syna theme heavily works with fragments, therefore the development differs a bit from a "normal" Hugo website.

Quick start

Open in VS Code dev container

To avoid the need to install hugo on development machines, a VS Code dev container is provided that runs hugo in a docker container.

• Get submodules git submodule init && git submodule update
• Open the repository folder in VS Code
• If not installed, install Microsoft's "Remote - Containers" extension with id ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers.
• Open this repository in VS Code as a Dev Container:
  • Open command palette (F1 or Ctrl+Shift+P)
  • Run Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container

Development

• Start Hugo server via hugo server for development or run task Serve Drafts
• Build the website via hugo for deployment (the public folder ist deployed then) or run task Build

Overview

• config.toml contains the global config and menu items
• content/_global contains customization for global parts of the website, for example footer
• content/_index contains the landing page
• content/XYZ/* contains each reachable page. index.md is necessary to declare the page exists, while content.md defines its contents. Additional fragments can be added / overwritten etc.
• static/*** contains static resources, for example images
• archetypes contains templates which are used when executing hugo new. Not too important but easier than copy & pase.

How to create a new page

1. Either copy & paste an existing one, or execute hugo new --kind page-bundle <NAME>
2. To add an entry to the menu, add a link to the page in config.toml

Fancy elements

Check the Syna Fragments documentation for all provided fragments and how to use them.

Sorting elements

To sort items you can use weight, a lower value typically means it is more to the top or left. However note that weight = 0 is the same as undefined, so use at least weight = 1.
