You could probably use well-placed `.. raw:: html` blocks that add in
the necessary HTML. You might also split your content into separate
.rst files, tell the non-technical person to edit that, and then
include them (via reST directives) into the real file with raw-html
directives.

[nikola-discuss] Dividing content into "left" and "right" column

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

being quite new toe nikola, I need to convert an existing website.

Each page consists of several sections and is two-column, the design is 
based on https://html5up.net/paradigm-shift:


 * Left column: Headline, one or more lead texts, link to the next section
 * Right column: Text, images, galleries.

In HTML it looks like this:


  
    Headline
    Some lead text
    Possibly another lead text
    
  
  
    Lorem ipsum
    Lorem ipsum
    images, galleries
  

...
...

The text is written in reSt (can still be change id required) and will 
be maintained by a non-technical person. Thus any solution should be as 
simple as possible.


Questions:

 * Is there some easy(!) way to group the left and right sides, to make
   them stylable? (I already tried some directives, but did make one of
   ti work.) Maybe putting some shortcode or role at the dividing point.
 * How can the links to the next section be generated automatically?

Some more background:

 * Its about 6 pages and max. 10 sections per page. So some solution
   collecting sections into pages would be acceptable.

Thanks in advance for any ideas
