Fronde is an opinionated static website generator for [[https://orgmode.org][Org]]. It helps you

convert Org mode files into websites, giving you full control over

the publication process.

* Features

- Inherits all [[https://orgmode.org][Org mode features]] (tables, syntax highlighting,

  code blocks evaluation, multiple languages support…)

- Does not require any emacs lisp knowledge

- Does not require any server-side code, nor databases, only a simple

  http server like apache, nginx, lighttpd, hiawatha…

- Allows fine customization of generated html files

- Allows multiple sources for your Org file and lets you organize them as

  you wish in the destination folder

- Can use different themes for different sources

- Supports tags and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(Web_standard)][ATOM feeds]]

* Quick install

Fronde is a [[https://rubygems.org/][Ruby gem]]. You need a working Ruby environment to use it. We

recommend that you use [[https://rvm.io][RVM]] and a specific gemset. However fronde works

with a global ruby installation too.

#+caption: Installation procedure with RVM

#+begin_src shell

  rvm get latest

  rvm install ruby-3.2.2

  rvm use ruby-3.2.2@fronde --create

  gem install fronde

#+end_src

Now you're ready to create your first fronde website.

#+begin_src shell

  mkdir mywebite

  cd mywebsite

  fronde init -t "My first fronde website"

  fronde build

  fronde preview

#+end_src

* Announcements

** Nov. 2023 - v0.4 release

The version 0.4 of fronde is made available for all. This new release

brings a lot of stability improvements and inner refactoring. Even if

the visible changes list might look a bit poor, this release is a big

step forward and will help a lot to develop new features in the

future. Some parts of the software were poorly designed and we worked

hard to improve the coding.

#+begin_noteblock

After the update, you will need to update your installations and force a

full publication of your websites (because the way templates are

inserted inside published files changed). Actually, this will become

the new standard routine after any fronde upgrade.

#+begin_src shell

  fronde update

  fronde build -f

#+end_src

#+end_noteblock

Here is the list of the most visible changes:

- Improve Gemini support

- Translate all console messages

- Introduce a new onboarding command (~new~ instead of ~init~) to follow

  other static website generator habbits

- Rework tags and Atom feeds publication

  + Output full article body in Atom feeds

  + Announce each Atom feed in its related tag page

  + Move tag pages and Atom feeds /inside/ the related blog source. They

    are not shared anymore but specific to their source.

#+begin_warningblock

As tags and feeds are now published under their related source public

path and no more directly at the root of the publication folder, you

might want to setup some redirections in your web server configuration.

For the following example configuration:

#+begin_src yaml

  ---

  sources:

  - path: src/news

    is_blog: true

#+end_src

Feeds and tags will now be published under ~public_html/news/feeds/~ and

~/public_html/news/tags/~ instead of ~public_html/feeds/~ and

~public_html/tags/~. Thus you might want to setup some redirections like

the following for nginx:

#+begin_src

  location ~ ^/tags/(?.*)$ {

      return 301 /news/tags/$slug;

  }

  location ~ ^/feeds/(?.*)$ {

      return 301 /news/feeds/$slug;

  }

#+end_src

#+end_warningblock
