Pelican Plugins ############### Beginning with version 3.0, Pelican supports plugins. Plugins are a way to add features to Pelican without having to directly modify the Pelican core. Starting with 3.2, all plugins (including the ones previously in the core) are moved here, so this is the central place for all plugins. How to use plugins ================== Easiest way to install and use these plugins is cloning this repo:: git clone --recursive https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins and activating the ones you want in your settings file:: PLUGIN_PATHS = ['path/to/pelican-plugins'] PLUGINS = ['assets', 'sitemap', 'gravatar'] ``PLUGIN_PATHS`` can be a path relative to your settings file or an absolute path. Alternatively, if plugins are in an importable path, you can omit ``PLUGIN_PATHS`` and list them:: PLUGINS = ['assets', 'sitemap', 'gravatar'] or you can ``import`` the plugin directly and give that:: import my_plugin PLUGINS = [my_plugin, 'assets'] Plugin descriptions =================== ======================== =========================================================== Plugin Description ======================== =========================================================== Always modified Copy created date metadata into modified date for easy "latest updates" indexes AsciiDoc reader Use AsciiDoc to write your posts.
