Roboto Notebook

A Mezzanine theme intended for publishing a personal blog with a minimalist design typeset with Google’s Roboto typeface.

In initial development.

Installation

1. Install the Roboto Notebook theme from the Python Package Index (PyPI): pip install robotonotebook.
2. Add "robotonotebook", to the top of the list of INSTALLED_APPS in your Mezannine project’s settings.py.

3. Add the following settings to your project’s settings.py:

   INLINE_EDITING_ENABLED = False
   
   PAGE_MENU_TEMPLATES = ((1, 'Sidebar', 'pages/menus/tree.html'),
   (2, 'Footer', 'pages/menus/footer.html'),)
   
   PAGE_MENU_TEMPLATES_DEFAULT = '1'
   

Things To Do

• Remove hardcoded links to editing in admin and find out why admin link doesn’t lead to pages’ editing interface, while it works for the blog.
• Finalize styling of all pages, including Mezzanine accounts, forms and galleries.
• Fix image max-width.
• Custom blog archive.
• Fixtures for initial example blog post, about page and footer page.
• Code syntax highlighting.
• Print stylesheet.

Future Features That Would Be Nice

• Drag and drop images into library upload area on sidebar, and then onto post.
• Option for static generation under tools?
  • Deployment.
  • Download backup of all pages in zipped HTML archive including styles and Markdown text file duplicates, i.e. About.html, About.md
  • Built-in Pandoc converter in admin interface.
• Markdown editor with toggleable preview as default for creating pages and posts, possibly using HTML Content Editable.
