Interlinks

This plugin lets you add frequently-used URLs to your markup using short keywords. Short URL format is keyword>rest-of-url where keyword is defined in your Pelican settings file. This is subsequently replaced with the actual URL in the generated HTML output.

Requirements

This plugin requires BeautifulSoup:

pip install beautifulsoup4

Installation

Put the plugin into your plugins folder, then add Interlinks in your settings file:

PLUGINS = ["interlinks"]

Usage

Interlinks are specified in your settings file. Here is an example:

INTERLINKS = {
    'wikipedia_en': 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/',
    'wikipedia_es': 'http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/',
    'ddg': 'https://duckduckgo.com/?q='
}

There's also a default key, this, that is mapped to the SITEURL variable.

Then, in your content, you just create a normal link but add the keyword> syntax as the URL scheme, followed by the rest of the URL.

Example (Markdown syntax)

[Normal boring link](http://www.example.com). But this is a [cool link](this>) that links to this site.

Search in [Wikipedia](wikipedia_en>python), ([here](wikipedia_es>python) in Spanish). You can also [search](ddg>python) it.

All the above will be rendered as:

<p><a href="http://www.example.com">Normal boring link</a>. But this is a <a href="http://[yoursite]/index.html">cool link</a> that links to this site.</p>

<p>Search in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/python">Wikipedia</a>, (<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/python">here</a> in Spanish). You can also <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=python">search</a> it.</p>
