Thank you again, Thomas!
The first suggestion you gave me is working but, as a matter of
fact, I observed that everytime I changed the values inside init.rb, I
had to manually "touch" the .page files in order to force their
recompilation by webgen, as you mentioned.
Just for the records, I had to replace the expression

The direct use of the variables you use has been deprecated in favour of
the `context` object. So your code should read:
<% if context.content_node['has_side bar'] %>
[HTML block that generates side-bar]
<% end %>
Also note that the page meta information block is parsed with YAML,
meaning that the keys and values are converted, as far as possible, to

There is no support for such global variables in 0.5.x as there was in
0.4.x. However, you have two possibilities:
1. Define the variables in ext/init.rb by storing them in a new
configuration option:
Webgen.website_access.config.g lobals({'mykey' => 'value', 'otherkey' => 5})
Then you can access the values using the following ERB fragment in a

Hi,
I am obviously new to webgen, as my problem is a fairly simple yet one
that I can't seem to solve on my own.
I am using webgen 0.5.11.
I only want those pages that have "has_sidebar: true" is set in their
page header to have a side bar. Like so:
---
title: Welcome
in_menu: true
routed_title: Home

Hi Thomas,
Thx for your response. I think I mixed up something here. Actually,
I am using version 0.5.11 and used FAQ from version 0.4, sorry for my
mistake. Anyway, is there a way to create global variables or a
similar resource in version 0.5?
My problem is: I have some values (integers and strings) which may

Which version of webgen are you using? From the example above, it seems
that you are using webgen 0.4.x (and therefore the FAQ from
[link]).
Note that there is an error in your example above: You need to indent
customVars with two spaces:

Hello,
I am trying to use global variables, as pointed out at webgen FAQ
page, but no success. I am trying to put the following lines at
config.yaml file:
Core/Configuration:
customVars:
{myVar: This is really nice!}
I always get the error message:
What am I missing here?
Is there another way to define global values (numbers, strings etc.)

Re: [webgen-users] Adding custom s to the via the contentprocessor head

This is due to a change in the meta info tag. The meta info values are
assumed to be output format agnostic. Therefore I added automatic
escaping of meta info values inserted by the metainfo tag. I have added
an option for disabling the escaping. The Github repo has been updated.

OK, I pulled that…
- at first I got a bunch of errors due to mis-initialization of the
metainfo tag… switched from require to load in ex/init.rb and that
fixed those.
- everything looks nice, the link#targets work, the feed metadata too, but…
…some pieces of markdown code appear as-is in the output, e.g. the

This is a bug in the content processor head which I have fixed in my

You can use 'require', however, all things done with the
`website.config` object have to be done each time ext/init.rb is loaded
(webgen really `load`s it instead of `require'ing it). Otherwise the
necessary information may not be set.

Back on this…
I now have webgen complain:
ERROR -- No link target specified for link type 'alternate' in 'link'
meta information in </notes/index.en.html>
and so on… from reading the code it seems that the href is not found
in the metainfo, but here's what I have:
link:
alternate:
- type: application/atom+xml
