Hi everyone,
The most common complaint about our current lesson template is that it
requires people to commit generated HTML as well as Markdown source to
the repository's gh-pages branch. After a bit of tinkering, we have put
together a variation on the template that uses Jekyll (the same tool
that GitHub uses), so that people will only need to commit the Markdown
[1]. We've blogged about this at
http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2015/06/using-jekyll-for-lessons.html
- we'd be grateful if you could tell us whether it's worth making the
change.
Thanks,
Greg
[1] People using R Markdown or Jupyter Notebooks will still need to
convert from those formats to plain old Markdown [2], then commit that
Markdown to the repo, but they have to do that now as well.
[2] We haven't built this bit yet - we want to see if the switch to
Jekyll is worthwhile first.
