I received some good news this week: my Show Source plugin, the one inspired by Sphinx, has had its pull request accepted into the getpelican/pelican-plugins repo. This means that the plugin becomes a part of the standard Pelican plugin canon.

My next task will be to make a small addition, and hence pull request, to the developers of the theme I use with this site (pelican-bootstrap3) to accomodate a couple of small template changes to support Show Source automatically.

The officially accepted version of show source is available now right here.

Enjoy!

I have always been a fan of the Sphinx Python documentation generator and it has, I think, a nice feature where you can check out the raw source of a generated piece of documentation - a Show Source link. I decided that developing a Pelican plugin to imitate that feature would be a great way of getting a little deeper into the Pelican code itself.

This second post of the series explains the use of the Show Source plugin that I developed from the learning in the previous post. The following article has been, in some part, reproduced in the ReadMe.rst file included as part of the plugin.

This first post explores the Pelican plugin architecture and the basics of building a plugin.
