tabloid's Issues

List of links to all categories

Maybe place a cloud of categories at the bottom of the blog.

Implement checks for the contract of the public methods and functions

Support for lists

Ordered/Unordered lists.

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/basics

Create a suitable README more Github-friendly

Post.read_content() should take into account the date of the cached file

If the cache file has a timestamp older than the contents file, it should not use the cache file for the rendering. The normal course of action would be to recreate the cache file with the new contents, but writing is generally disallowed to scripts served by Apache instances, for security reasons.

LinkRenderer does not create full URLs for Atom feed

Extract code to check test scenarios

In every test method, we have the following:

for input, output in self.cases:
  result = renderer.render(input)
  self.assertEqual(output, result)

Maybe create a test base class that contains this method, or decorate the test methods or ... whatever it takes to not have this code duplicated everywhere.

Document paginator module

Compatibility with Python 2.4

My public www server has Python 2.4.

UTF-8 support in project sources

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file ./index.cgi on line 77, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
