This is both and announcement of a fiddly thing that i finally got working, and an invitation to participate.
So, in sphinx-contrib, the feed extension has offered an RSS feed ordered using the standard docutils date metadata for a good many months now. :Date: 2001-08-11 13:00:00 However, this last-updated has not been visible in the human-readable generated markup. Latest versions include a directive to generated an index of pages sorted by date and decorated with last-date time. Markup looks like this<https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx-contrib/src/b7d7d42524a3/feed/tests/root/index.rst> : .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :glob: :hidden: * .. latest:: :maxdepth: 2 :glob: * i.e. you create a table of contents as usual to ensure all documents get a real ToC entry, but set that to hidden and generate a parallel date-based "latest" list, that uses the same lookup logic under the hood. It's not designed to be a "blog roll engine" with a waterfall of articles with brief snippets etc- we have the serialized HTML builder for that, after all. However, it *is *supposed to make it easy to create nice, bloxsom-like date-based overviews, such as the excellent Cosma Shalizi Notebooks<http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/notabene/> . It works at the moment, though it's definitely the minimum shippable product. If anyone knows a more elegant way to do what i've done, as an extension-API n00b, feedback/patches/improved tests etc welcome. (And if anyone did want to implement a whole blog engine using what I've done - well, please let me know how you go.) Otherwise, enjoy. ;) Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-dev" group.
