Template syntax

Parameters are specified in curly braces, as if they will be passed to Python's .format() (because they will).

inner_template.html

This is iterated over for each event (i.e. each YAML file).

The following names are recognised:

• id
• title
• speaker
• abstract
• date
• time

annual_template.html

This file must be specified by hand; by default a dummy version is used.

The following names are recognised:

• year
• content

The latter is replaced by the results of applying inner_template.html to each YAML file for the relevant year.

outer_template.html

The main design of the page. Two names are recognised:

• past
• future

The former is replaced by the results of applying inner_template.html to each YAML file for all future events. The latter is replaced by the result of applying annual_template.html to each year.
