Podlite: Enhancements for knowledge management and information ecosystems
Published on October 15, 2024 by Alex Zahatski

Recently Added Features in Podlite-web -  package designed for publishing Podlite markup files.

Podlite keeps evolving, opening up new possibilities for knowledge management. Check out this list of recent achievements in the Podlite-web package for creating web projects:

  • Revamped Architecture and Plugin Support: Podlite-web's architecture got a complete makeover, and now it supports plugins! This means you can easily extend its functionality and tailor Podlite to fit your project's specific needs.

  • Global Term Index: Podlite-web now automatically builds an index of all terms in your documentation. This makes navigating through large amounts of information a breeze and helps users quickly find the definitions they need.

  • Full-Text Search: A search mechanism covering all site documents has been implemented. Users can now find the information they need quickly, even if they don't know exactly where it's located.

  • =FOOTER and =HEADER Support: You can now use unified headers and footers for all pages on your site. This ensures a consistent look and improves site navigation.

  • Enhanced React Support: React integration has been improved, including support for =useReact and =React in the =FOOTER and =HEADER sections. This opens up new possibilities for creating dynamic and interactive elements on your pages.

  • Code Syntax Highlighting: Syntax highlighting for code blocks has been added. This improves the readability of technical documentation and code examples.

  • Smart Link Conversion: Automatic conversion of file:// and doc:// links during publication has been implemented. This ensures that internal links work correctly in the published documentation.

  • Visual Navigation Components: New visual components, such as breadcrumbs, have been introduced. These significantly improve navigation through complex documentation structures.


All these new features significantly expand Podlite-web's capabilities for creating modern, user-friendly, and informative web resources, especially in the areas of knowledge management and technical documentation.

We're excited to introduce a new project that showcases all the above-mentioned Podlite-web features in action - "The Raku Knowledge Base".  You can read more about the The Raku Knowledge Base in detail in the official announcement on the Podlite website podlite.org/a5ZK1.
