About this demo

This is a demo site for the experimental Pelican Collection Builder system. The system consists of three building blocks:

  1. A pelican plugin, pelican-collection-builder, that dynamically generates pages from a CSV file and a folder with images,
  2. a theme, pelican-collection-theme, that displays them in a sensible manner, and
  3. this template of how to bring the two together and configure them.

Pelican Collection Builder (and this demo site) are heavily inspired by Wax and the Minimal Computing philosophy. In fact, this demo is a partial re-implementation of the original Wax demo, and started as an experiment to see if something like Wax could be built on top of the Pelican static site generator.
