Building

This website uses jinja2 templating. To build the final html, run make from the root directory.

python3 -m venv .venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
make
open build/index.html

Web pages are HTML files rendered in a browser.
HTML is made up of building blocks that can be rendered by the browser, e.g. <body>...</body>.
These building blocks will have some default formatting when rendered (font, size, position, etc.)
CSS is used to customise this formatting.
You're quite limited in what you can do in just HTML. e.g. you can't factorize out common parts of a web page, to be used across multiple pages of a website (e.g. a site-wide header and footer).
One way of doing this is with PHP. In PHP you can write HTML, but also with extra features like templates.
A web server can interpret PHP files to produce HTML, but your browser can't (and nor can github pages, because it only supports static sites).
You can either view .php files in you browser by installing php locally and:
- Starting a local php server, php -S localhost:port -t your_folder/
- Compiling the php into html: php file.php > file.html
An alternative is to use a templating framework like jinja2. This has a python API that can be used to compile the html from a templated version that contains jinja directives.
