Pulsar Documentation Eleventy

This new Pulsar Documentation website utilizes eleventy.

This project superseedes previous efforts utilizing sloth as it's been determined that eleventy is the more mature implementation of the same exact goals of sloth and it makes the most sense to utilize a framework that's more mature, and requires significantly less maintenance.

Installation

npm install
git submodule init
git submodule update

Running

  • npm run build: Builds the site
  • npm run serve: Creates a live version of the site at :8080
  • npm run build:debug: Builds the site with debug flags set
  • npm run serve:debug: Creates a live server with debug flags set

Tool Translations from current Pulsar site to this one

While obviously nearly all text should be redone, there are also some technical changes that should occur:

KDB

Switch uses of <kdb>Ctrl</kdb> to [[Ctrl]]

Images

Switch links with @images to /img

TODO's

The biggest aspects of this that still have to be completed:

  • Finalize CSS implementations
  • Create all EJS templates needed
  • Create collections and automatically create collection views on summary pages
  • Implement Dark Mode
  • Implement Light Mode
  • Implement Theme Switcher
  • Add all original Launch Manual Docs
  • Add all relevant documentation
  • Implement Pulsar API Docs
  • Implement Hovercards
  • Update ALL Links!
  • Ensure all sidebar descriptions are filled in
  • Add support for syntax highlighting
  • Design CSS to account for indented returns in the API view
  • Find a way to generate API docs from most recent Pulsar versions
  • GHA to generate new Pulsar Docs once above is done
  • Wait for pulsardoc to support Coffee and enable coffee based repos to document

Style Guide

Here will be the very short, non-complete style guide:

Links to GitHub

If linking to a resource on GitHub, such as the language-git package, ensure to never include the branch.

By default if you copy paste the link to the language-git package it will look like: https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar/tree/master/packages/language-git

But in the rare event the branch name never changes, we can make simple changes now to avoid stress later, by replacing the master here with HEAD, such as: https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar/tree/HEAD/packages/language-git

Heading Levels

Within each page of markdown you should never include an <h1> heading level (#) always start on <h2> (##) as the title of the page is extracted and used as a level one heading in all cases.

Links between pages

For simplicity, and ability to find and replace links in the future, all links between pages should be from the root of the website.

Meaning start all links with / and direct to the page you are attempting to link to.

A safe exception to this rule is for anchor links on the same page, as those can just be the anchor itself.

But for all other links, please do follow this rule and do not use relative links.

Examples: When linking to /example/sub/page from /example/sub/hello

  • Do: /example/sub/page
  • Do NOT: ../page
