pontiki: not a requirement, just a desire.

bret: thanks for the confirmation. i thought that might be the case and was going down the road of generators until i realized that github doesn't support them.

i was thinking that a longer page would be better. too many chances to get lost in the trail of links that are clicked through.

do i have to create all of these stub pages by hand? i can't use generators (github pages). is there something i'm missing?

bret: say I have a yaml file with a list of all employees. when you visit example.com/employees/john_doe, it would redirect to a stub page for john doe.

bret: i somehow skipped over collections and didn't know about them. this is something that i do want, but doesn't solve my problem fully.

bret: i guess they'll be static pages, separate from the posts.

CosmoHill: you mean create hundreds of files by hand/script? That is my backup plan. They will each have a unique name in their front-matter.

the pages would just be small stub pages slightly customized for each item in the list. sort of an "under construction" type of thing.

I want a list of a couple hundred items. I want each of those items to have their own page/url. Is it possible to do this without generators?

Una: Look in the plugins part of the docs. There are some example generators at the bottom and one of them is for creating aliases to posts.

yep, that's my next step. the current repo is cluttered with lots of garbage since it is my first start and i'm just learning.

pontiki: i'll have to try to strip it down to the bare essentials and create a new repo. i won't be able to get to it tonight, but i think it will be a great idea to share it.

i'm just writing a simple(?) generator that reads in some data and creates new pages. similar to the second Generator plug-in example on the jekyll docs

jaybe: yep, i've got that.

jaybe: the page that was generated had a "layout: foobar" front matter, and the foobar.html had a front matter of "layout: default" which has some includes. Does that answer your question?

is there anything special about generated pages and markdown? I'm programmatically generating some pages and the Liquid stuff seems to be applied, but the markdown doesn't get converted.

pontiki: I think I might be. Thanks for pointing that out. (I'm very new to jekyll.)
