tag_cloud
=========

This plugin generates a tag-cloud.

Settings
--------

================================================ =====================================================
Setting name (followed by default value) What does it do?
================================================ =====================================================
``TAG_CLOUD_STEPS = 4`` Count of different font sizes in the tag
cloud.
``TAG_CLOUD_MAX_ITEMS = 100`` Maximum number of tags in the cloud.
``TAG_CLOUD_SORTING = 'random'`` The tag cloud ordering scheme. Valid values:
random, alphabetically, alphabetically-rev, size and
size-rev
================================================ =====================================================

The default theme does not include a tag cloud, but it is pretty easy to add one::

{% for tag in tag_cloud %}

• {{ tag.0 }}

{% endfor %}

You should then also define CSS styles with appropriate classes (tag-1 to tag-N,
where N matches ``TAG_CLOUD_STEPS``), tag-1 being the most frequent, and
define a ``ul.tagcloud`` class with appropriate list-style to create the cloud.
For example::

ul.tagcloud {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
}

ul.tagcloud li {
display: inline-block;
}

li.tag-1 {
font-size: 150%;
}

li.tag-2 {
font-size: 120%;
}

...

By default the tags in the cloud are sorted randomly, but if you prefers to have it alphabetically use the `alphabetically` (ascending) and `alphabetically-rev` (descending). Also is possible to sort the tags by it's size (number of articles with this specific tag) using the values `size` (ascending) and `size-rev` (descending).
