This Middleman extension is a critical part of

71
|
+
[Middlemac](https://github.com/middlemac), the Mac OS X help building system
|
72
|
+
for Mac OS X applications. However this gem is not Mac OS X specific and can be
|
73
|
+
useful in any application for which you want to provide structure and
|
74
|
+
navigation.

other than for generating the documentation sample project and sample partial

|

This section describes some of `middleman-pagegroups`’ design and
|
12
|
+
philosophy, and this is the right section to begin in if you’re still wondering
|
13
|
+
what this extension actually provides to you.
|
14
|
+
|
15
|
+
## Intended Uses
|
16
|
+
|
17
|
+
`middleman-pagegroups` is chiefly designed to support hierarchical, structured,
|
18
|
+
multi-page documents that have organizational relationships between them, such
|
19
|
+
as product manuals, help files, and Middleman extension gem documentation.
|
20
|
+
|
21
|
+
Using its model for groups, pages, legitimate children, and brethren simplifies
|
22
|
+
the implementation of tables of contents, previous and next buttons, breadcrumb
|
23
|
+
indicators, see-also tables, and more. This frees you from having to manually
|
24
|
+
update and validate scores of links and hand-coding on a page-by-page basis.
|
25
|
+
|
26
|
+
Books with sections, chapters, and pages are an obvious sample use case.
|
27
|
+
Software manuals, tutorials, training courses, and more are all suitable
|
28
|
+
candidates for the flexible and nearly-automatic organization provided by
|
29
|
+
`middleman-pagegroups`.
|
30
|
+
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
## What `middleman-pagegroups` does
|
33
|
+
|
34
|
+
`middleman-pagegroups` principally enables **automatic navigation** via the
|
35
|
+
management of **sort order**, **groups** (including nested groups), and making
|
36
|
+
a determination about the **legitimacy** of these relationships.
|
37
|
+
|
38
|
+
It provides helpers and sample partials to enable **breadcrumbs**, **previous**
|
39
|
+
and *next** buttons, **tables of contents**, and **related pages**, all using
|
40
|
+
the concepts that enable automatic navigation.
|
41
|
+
|
42
|
+
|
43
|
+
## Convention over Configuration
|
44
|
+
|
45
|
+
All of the features making `middleman-pagegroups` useful hinge on being able to
|
46
|
+
enable automatic navigation, and this is accomplished by following logical,
|
47
|
+
simple conventions that avoid having to micromanage many series of configuration
|
48
|
+
files.
|
49
|
+
|
50
|
+
For example you will define a **group** as a directory in your file system and
|
51
|
+
include an `index.html` file to serve as the parent of that group.
|
52
|
+
|
53
|
+
You will establish **sort orders** to define the **legitimacy** of certain
|
54
|
+
pages for inclusion or exclusion in the automatic navigation system.
|
55
|
+
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
## Hierarchical Design
|
58
|
+
|
59
|
+
`middleman-pagegroups` inherently uses the concept of “groups,” each of which
|
60
|
+
has pages and/or groups that belong to the group as its children.
|
61
|
+
|
62
|
+
Every project has a single, top-level (root) group, and because groups are named
|
63
|
+
for the directory that contain them, the top level group is usually named
|
64
|
+
`source` (because Middleman’s default source folder is so-named).
|
65
|
+
|
66
|
+
A detailed look at the hierarchical design and requirements can be found in the
|
67
|
+
[Directory Organization](directory_organization) section.
|
68
|
+
|
69
|
+
|
70
|
+
## Sort Order
|
71
|
+
|
72
|
+
Every page intended for automatic navigation must include a sort order, which
|
73
|
+
can be specified with a [Front Matter](frontmatter) key or as part of the file
|
74
|
+
name.
|
75
|
+
|
76
|
+
Don’t confuse sort order with page number. Sort order is simply an integer value
|
77
|
+
that does not have to be consecutive. It may be convenient to specify these in
|
78
|
+
steps of 10, for example, to make later insertions easier.
|
79
|
+
|
80
|
+
To include pages in your project (such as [this one](ovum)) that don’t
|
81
|
+
participate in the automatic navigation scheme, simply do not provide a sort
|
82
|
+
order.
|
83
|
+
|
84
|
+
|
85
|
+
## Legitimacy
|
86
|
+
|
87
|
+
In the context of `middleman-pagegroups` “legitimacy” refers to eligibility for
|
88
|
+
inclusion in the automatic navigation system. The criteria for legitimacy
|
89
|
+
include:
|
90
|
+
|
91
|
+
- The file must be an HTML or XHTML file.
|
92
|
+
- The file must not be `ignored?`, which is a resource attribute built into
|
93
|
+
Middleman. Other extensions (such as `middleman-targets`) may modify this
|
94
|
+
attribute.
|
95
|
+
- The file must have an assigned sort order.
|
96
|
+
|
97
|
+
You can still include accessible pages within the group but exclude them from
|
98
|
+
the automatic navigation features, i.e., render them “illegitimate.” Simply do
|
99
|
+
not provide a sort order for these pages.
|
100
|
+
|
101
|
+
|
102
|
+
## Brethren
|
103
|
+
|
104
|
+
`middleman-pagegroups` uses the word _brethren_ to refer to _legitimate
|
105
|
+
siblings_, i.e., “legitimate” as described above, not including itself. This
|
106
|
+
serves as a good basis for related-pages types of links.
|
107
|
+
|
108
|
+
## Legitimate Children
|
109
|
+
|
110
|
+
`middleman-pagegroups` similarly refines Middleman’s built-in children to
|
111
|
+
ensure that _only_ “legitimate” documents are included in automatic navigation.

|
12
|
+
Directory organization is one of key parts of letting `middleman-pagegroups`
|
13
|
+
take the hassle out of managing content for you.
|
14
|
+
|
15
|
+
Briefly the role of the directory layout convention is this:
|
16
|
+
|
17
|
+
- Directories equate to groups.
|
18
|
+
- Directory names equate to the group names.
|
19
|
+
- Each file in a directory, except for `index.html`, constitutes a member of
|
20
|
+
the group.
|
21
|
+
- The `index.html` file in a directory serves as the placeholder for the
|
22
|
+
`parent` of the group.
|
23
|
+
|
24
|
+
|
25
|
+
Each group must include at least one file that will render into `index.html`.
|
26
|
+
This file serves as the parent to the group. As such, the top-level document
|
27
|
+
of any project is `source/html.index` which is a familiar expectation in any
|
28
|
+
HTML project, and the default, top-level document for any nested directory is
|
29
|
+
also `index.html`, which is consistent with practices to which you are no doubt
|
30
|
+
already accustomed.
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
One important novelty of `middleman-pagegroups` is that a group’s `index.html`
|
33
|
+
file is considered a child of parent group. For example in this documentation
|
34
|
+
project’s hierarchy…
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
~~~
|
37
|
+
source/
|
38
|
+
index.html <- root object, parent to license, toc, and documentation/index.html
|
39
|
+
license.html <- Sort order is 20. Member of the `source` group.
|
40
|
+
toc.html <- Sort order is 30. Member of the `source` group.
|
41
|
+
documentation/
|
42
|
+
index.html <- Sort order is 10, and is a member of the `source` group!
|
43
|
+
concepts.html
|
44
|
+
directory_organization.html
|
45
|
+
…
|
46
|
+
~~~
|
47
|
+
|
48
|
+
…the files `license.html`, `toc.html`, and `documentation/index.html` are _all_
|
49
|
+
children of the `source` group. The file `source/index.html` is the child of
|
50
|
+
no one; it is the root document.
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
Another way to look at this is like this: the directory `documentation/`, i.e.,
|
53
|
+
the group `documentation`, is a member of the `source` group. It’s represented
|
54
|
+
by its `index.html` file.

## Nesting
|
59
|
+
|
60
|
+
Groups can be arbitrarily nested as deep as you wish. There’s probably a limit
|
61
|
+
that would cause a stack overflow and crash, but you’re not likely to reach it
|
62
|
+
unless you try deliberately.
|
63
|
+
|
64
|
+
|
65
|
+
## Sort Order
|
66
|
+
|
67
|
+
Although [Front Matter](frontmatter) is an appropriate place to specify a
|
68
|
+
page’s `:order`, it’s sometimes convenient for developers to arrange files in
|
69
|
+
order in their filesystem, too. This is supported by `middleman-pagegroups`,
|
70
|
+
too.
|
71
|
+
|
72
|
+
Simply prefix your filename with any integer followed by an underscore, e.g.,
|
73
|
+
the source file for this page is `20_directory_organization.html.md.erb`.
|
74
|
+
|
75
|
+
In order to avoid ugly URIs (e.g., `20_directory_organization.html`) make sure
|
76
|
+
that your [`config.rb`](config) file sets `strip_file_prefixes` to `true`, which
|
77
|
+
will rewrite page names without the order specifiers (e.g.,
|
78
|
+
`directory_organization.html`).
|
79
|
+
|
80
|
+
Filename sort order prefixes only work for non-group files, however. Groups and
|
81
|
+
their `index.html` files cannot be magically numbered in this way. You _must_
|
82
|
+
use the front matter `:order` key in `index.html` files, instead.
|
83
|
+
{:.note}
|
84
|
+
|
85
|
+
Front matter `:order` will override any order specified by file names.
|
