# spacy.io website and docs
|
||
|
||
The [spacy.io](https://spacy.io) website is implemented in [Jade (aka Pug)](https://www.jade-lang.org), and is built or served by [Harp](https://harpjs.com). Jade is an extensible templating language with a readable syntax, that compiles to HTML.
|
||
The website source makes extensive use of Jade mixins, so that the design system is abstracted away from the content you're
|
||
writing. You can read more about our approach in our blog post, ["Rebuilding a Website with Modular Markup"](https://explosion.ai/blog/modular-markup).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Viewing the site locally
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo npm install --global harp
|
||
git clone https://github.com/explosion/spaCy
|
||
cd website
|
||
harp server
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will serve the site on [http://localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Making changes to the site
|
||
|
||
The docs can always use another example or more detail, and they should always be up to date and not misleading. If you see something, say something – we always appreciate a [pull request](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/pulls). To quickly find the correct file to edit, simply click on the "Suggest edits" button at the bottom of a page.
|
||
|
||
### File structure
|
||
|
||
While all page content lives in the `.jade` files, article meta (page titles, sidebars etc.) is stored as JSON. Each folder contains a `_data.json` with all required meta for its files.
|
||
|
||
For simplicity, all sites linked in the [tutorials](https://spacy.io/docs/usage/tutorials) and [showcase](https://spacy.io/docs/usage/showcase) are also stored as JSON. So in order to edit those pages, there's no need to dig into the Jade files – simply edit the [`_data.json`](docs/usage/_data.json).
|
||
|
||
### Markup language and conventions
|
||
|
||
Jade/Pug is a whitespace-sensitive markup language that compiles to HTML. Indentation is used to nest elements, and for template logic, like `if`/`else` or `for`, mainly used to iterate over objects and arrays in the meta data. It also allows inline JavaScript expressions.
|
||
|
||
For an overview of Harp and Jade, see [this blog post](https://ines.io/blog/the-ultimate-guide-static-websites-harp-jade). For more info on the Jade/Pug syntax, check out their [documentation](https://pugjs.org).
|
||
|
||
In the [spacy.io](https://spacy.io) source, we use 4 spaces to indent and hard-wrap at 80 characters.
|
||
|
||
```pug
|
||
p This is a very short paragraph. It stays inline.
|
||
|
||
p
|
||
| This is a much longer paragraph. It's hard-wrapped at 80 characters to
|
||
| make it easier to read on GitHub and in editors that do not have soft
|
||
| wrapping enabled. To prevent Jade from interpreting each line as a new
|
||
| element, it's prefixed with a pipe and two spaces. This ensures that no
|
||
| spaces are dropped – for example, if your editor strips out trailing
|
||
| whitespace by default. Inline links are added using the inline syntax,
|
||
| like this: #[+a("https://google.com") Google].
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note that for external links, `+a("...")` is used instead of `a(href="...")` – it's a mixin that takes care of adding all required attributes.
|
||
|
||
### Mixins
|
||
|
||
Each file includes a collection of [custom mixins](_includes/_mixins.jade) that make it easier to add content components – no HTML or class names required.
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
```pug
|
||
//- Bulleted list
|
||
|
||
+list
|
||
+item This is a list item.
|
||
+item This is another list item.
|
||
|
||
//- Table with header
|
||
|
||
+table([ "Header one", "Header two" ])
|
||
+row
|
||
+cell Table cell
|
||
+cell Another one
|
||
|
||
+row
|
||
+cell And one more.
|
||
+cell And the last one.
|
||
|
||
//- Headlines with optional permalinks
|
||
|
||
+h(2, "link-id") Headline 2 with link to #link-id
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Code blocks are implemented using the `+code` or `+aside-code` (to display them in the sidebar). A `.` is added after the mixin call to preserve whitespace:
|
||
|
||
```pug
|
||
+code("This is a label").
|
||
import spacy
|
||
en_nlp = spacy.load('en')
|
||
en_doc = en_nlp(u'Hello, world. Here are two sentences.')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can find the documentation for the available mixins in [`_includes/_mixins.jade`](_includes/_mixins.jade).
|
||
|
||
### Linking to the Github repo
|
||
|
||
Since GitHub links can be long and tricky, you can use the `gh()` function to generate them automatically for spaCy and all repositories owned by [explosion](https://github.com/explosion):
|
||
|
||
```pug
|
||
//- Syntax: gh(repo, [file], [branch])
|
||
|
||
+src(gh("spaCy", "spacy/matcher.pyx"))
|
||
|
||
//- https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/blob/master/spacy/matcher.pyx
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`+src()` creates a link with a little source icon to indicate it's linking to a code source.
|
||
|
||
### Most common causes of compile errors
|
||
|
||
| Problem | Fix |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| JSON formatting errors | make sure last elements of objects don't end with commas and/or use a JSON linter |
|
||
| unescaped characters like `<` or `>` and sometimes `'` in inline elements | replace with encoded version: `<`, `>` etc. |
|
||
| "Cannot read property 'call' of undefined" / "foo is not a function" | make sure mixin names are spelled correctly and mixins file is included with the correct path |
|
||
| "no closing bracket found" | make sure inline elements end with a `]`, like `#[code spacy.load('en')]` and for nested inline elements, make sure they're all on the same line and contain spaces between them (**bad:** `#[+api("doc")#[code Doc]]`) |
|
||
|
||
If Harp fails and throws a Jade error, don't take the reported line number at face value – it's often wrong, as the page is compiled from templates and several files.
