<nav class="navigation"><a href="/glyph/book/extending/task.html">Defining Custom Tasks</a> | <a href="/glyph/book/index.html">Contents</a> | <a href="/glyph/book/extending/command.html">Defining Custom Commands</a></nav>
<p>As shown in <a href="/glyph/book/extending/commands_tasks.html#cmd_tasks_arch">How Commands and Tasks work</a>, the <a href="/glyph/book/ref_commands.html#c_compile"><code>compile</code></a> command command calls specific tasks defined in the <code>generate:</code> Rake namespace to generate output files in a particular format.</p>
<p>More specifically, when a <code>--format</code> option is specified, the command looks for a task with the same name within the <code>generate:</code> namespace. This makes adding new output formats to Glyph a fairly easy task, without the need to specify custom commands or similar.</p>
<p>The following sections explain how the <code>h3rald</code> output format was created to integrate this book into the <a href="http://www.h3rald.com">H3RALD.com</a> website.</p>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="h_105">Output Configuration</h1></header>
<p>The first step required to add a new output format to Glyph is extending Glyph’s configuration by adding the appropriate output hash, as follows:</p>
<div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n1" name="n1">1</a></span><span class="symbol">:output</span>:
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n2" name="n2">2</a></span> <span class="symbol">:h3rald</span>:
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n3" name="n3">3</a></span> <span class="symbol">:multifile</span>: <span class="error">true</span>
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n4" name="n4">4</a></span> <span class="symbol">:extension</span>: <span class="error">'.html'</span>
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n5" name="n5">5</a></span> <span class="symbol">:filter_target</span>: <span class="error">'html'</span>
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n6" name="n6">6</a></span> <span class="symbol">:base</span>: <span class="error">'/glyph/book/'</span>
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n7" name="n7">7</a></span> <span class="symbol">:macro_dirs</span>: [<span class="error">'html', 'html5']</span>
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n8" name="n8">8</a></span> <span class="symbol">:layout_dirs</span>: [<span class="error">'web5']</span>
<span class="line-numbers"> <a href="#n9" name="n9">9</a></span> <span class="symbol">:layouts</span>:
<span class="line-numbers"><strong><a href="#n10" name="n10">10</a></strong></span> <span class="symbol">:topic</span>: <span class="error">bookpage</span>
<span class="line-numbers"><a href="#n11" name="n11">11</a></span> <span class="symbol">:index</span>: <span class="error">bookindex</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In particular, the following keys are mandatory:</p>
<ul>
<li>multifile</li>
<li>extension</li>
<li>filter_target</li>
<li>base</li>
<li>macro_dirs</li>
<li>layout_dirs</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="h_106">Creating a 'generate:h3rald' task</h1></header>
<p>The next (and final) step involves creating a custom <code>h3rald</code> task within the <code>generate:</code> namespace. This task can be placed in any <code>.rake</code> file within the <code>lib/tasks</code> directory:</p>
<div class="CodeRay">

</div>
<p>In this case, this task does not actually renders files in a different format, it just moves the files generated by the @generate:web5@ task in different subdirectories.</p>
<p>Additionally, it also generates the <a href="http://www.h3rald.com/glyph/">Glyph project page</a> from the book's introduction (note the usage of a raw custom layout macro).</p>
