Stream: IG creation
Topic: Template syntax and object documentation ?
Janaka Peiris (Jun 25 2021 at 05:58):
I see some basic examples on starting to create a new template. I'd like to find more about the available objects and how .md vs .xml files work etc.
1) I've seen this syntax in some IG page content XML files ( <IG root>/input/includes/*.xml). Is there any documentation on what kind of syntax (I assume its Jekyll) and objects are supported?
{% for sd_hash in site.data.structuredefinitions -%}
{%- assign sd = sd_hash[1] -%}
{%- if sd.kind == "complex-type" and sd.type != "Extension" -%}
<li>
<a href="{{sd.path}}">{{sd.name}}</a>{{sd.title}}
</li>
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}
2) Also noted that some pages are automatically generated from the IG template (eg: artifacts.html). Where can I find these files, and how can I override it ?

1) Yes, this is jekyll liquid syntax. To see the available variables, you can look under your IG's temp\pages\_data (after you build the IG)

- The artifacts index is generated by createArtifactSummary.xslt which is called by the template's ant script

In summary the ig are a combination of Java generated fragments xlst generated pages and authored content all stitched together in Jekyll
