title: "Glyph - Custom Output Formats"
content-type: page
-----
<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>
		<h3 id="h_105" class="toc">Output Configuration</h1>
	</header>
	<p>The first step required to add a new output format to Glyph is extending Glyph&#8217;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>
		<h3 id="h_106" class="toc">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>

	<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="/glyph/">Glyph project page</a> from the book's introduction (note
		the usage of a raw custom layout macro).</p>
