Layouts & Rendering

Goals

Today’s agenda:

• Re-rendering when layouts are modified during watching.
• Rendering pages once.
• Including the contexts of all parent layouts when rendering.
• Finishing the user guide.

Layout Watching

When layouts are added, modified, or removed, we consider the effects on other pages:

• The ancestors of modified or added layouts are themselves modified or added.
• The ancestors of removed layouts are modified.

Rendering Once

Topological sorting can be used to find the order to render pages in without recursion, therefore preventing redundant renders.

Future Goals

• Pointing site pages to indices, setting appropriate HTML titles.
• Implementing partial date-times.
• Parallelising both rendering and writing to disk.
• Documenting the CLI code.
• Creating a logo for Vox.
• Updating all dependent crates.
