The primary repo for edinburgh.pm

Because pm.org doesn't allow Apache SSIs or any dynamic content (and because I don't want to take on the work involved in hosting the site elsewhere) we store files as Text::Xslate templates (written in TTerse)

To build the site, run:

script/build_static

That will generate a html file for each *.html.tx template that exists.

Alternatively, you can run a local development server which will automatically generate the templated HTML output on the fly (so you can flip between editing a template file and reloading the page in your browser, without running the script manually). Run this command:

plackup scripts/dev_server

and visit the URL it suggests. The [plackup command][https://metacpan.org/module/plackup] also accepts various options to configure where it listens, and so on.

You can install the Perl modules needed by script/build_static and script/dev_server by running

cpanm --installdeps .

If you don't have cpanminus installed already, you can find it [on CPAN][https://metacpan.org/module/App::cpanminus].

The .html files are not tracked in git -- the .html.tx files are, and those are used to generate the site via script/build_static

Thus, if you want to make edits:

• edit the .html.tx file of the page you want to change
• re-run script/build_static
