Website for fullmonte Software

This repository contains the source for http://fullmonteforPDT.org

The pages are generated using Jekyll. All pages are written in Markdown and converted into HTML by Jekyll.

The actual webpage is hosted by GitHub (verilog-to-routing.github.io) with a custom domain (verilogtorouting.org). GitHub automatically runs Jekyll to regenerate the website whenever a commit is push to the repository.

Organization

• index.md - The main page

• _config.yml - Jekyll configuration file

• Gemfile, Gemfile.lock - Defines tool vesions used to build the site

• img - Directory containing images

• _includes - Directory containing html fragments 'included' into pages by Jekyll (e.g. Header, Footer)

• _pages - Directory containing *.md files defining stand-alone pages

• _posts - Directory for blog posts (currently unused)

• _site - Build directory created by Jekyll

• CNAME - Defines the custom domain (used by GitHub)

Modifying the Website

Modifying an existing page

Simply edit the associated *.md file, commit the change and push it to GitHub.

Adding a new page

Add the new Markdown file (e.g. mynewpage.md) to the _pages directory.

Ensure the top of the file contains the following:

---
layout: page
title: <title>
permalink: /<link>/
---

Where <title> is replaced with the title of the page (e.g. My New Page), and <link> is replaced with the page URL (e.g. if <link> is mynewpage the new page will be served at verilogtorouting.org/mynewpage).

New pages will be automatically added to the header navigation bar by Jekyll (see _includes/header.html).

Building Locally

It is useful to test changes locally before pushing to GitHub.

See here for details on installing Jekyll with a configuration to match GitHub's.

Once complete you can run

bundle exec jekyll serve

Which will start a local server (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:4000/) you can connect to with a browser to preview your changes.
