11
+
12
+ ### Added
13
+
14
+ - Initial project scaffold.
15
+ - Post discovery and the content model: YAML front-matter parsing (block-list
16
+ aware), post loading (slug from file stem, date coercion, taxonomies,
17
+ excerpt), newest-first discovery, and grouping by category, tag, and year.
18
+ - Markdown emitters for the index listing, archive landing and per-year pages,
19
+ and tag/category pages and their indexes. Output is zensical-safe: every link
20
+ is a site-absolute directory URL and there are no bare reference brackets.
21
+ - A `build`/`clean` CLI and a `zensical.toml` config loader (the
22
+ `[project.extra.zensical_updates]` table). `build` discovers source posts,
23
+ copies them into `docs/<base>/`, and writes the generated pages; `clean`
24
+ removes that output. An invalid post (e.g. missing date) fails the build.
25
+ - An end-to-end integration test: generate a fixture site, run
26
+ `zensical build --clean --strict`, and assert every generated post,
27
+ taxonomy, and archive link resolves to a rendered page. This guards the two
28
+ silent failures (wrong post URLs and front-matter link reads).
29
+ - Documentation: README and a usage guide covering how to write posts,
30
+ configure the generator, and run the build.

+ CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE

12

+
14
+ ## Statement of Purpose
15
+
16
+ The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
17
+ exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator
18
+ and subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
19
+ authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
20
+
21
+ Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for
22
+ the purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and
23
+ scientific works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear
24
+ of later claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other
25
+ works, reuse and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever
26
+ and for any purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes.
27
+ These owners may contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free
28
+ culture and the further production of creative, cultural and scientific
29
+ works, or to gain reputation or greater distribution for their Work in
30
+ part through the use and efforts of others.
31
+
32
+ For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any
33
+ expectation of additional consideration or compensation, the person
34
+ associating CC0 with a Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she
35
+ is an owner of Copyright and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily
36
+ elects to apply CC0 to the Work and publicly distribute the Work under its
37
+ terms, with knowledge of his or her Copyright and Related Rights in the
38
+ Work and the meaning and intended legal effect of CC0 on those rights.
39
+
40
+ 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
41
+ protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
42
+ Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not
43
+ limited to, the following:
44
+
45
+ i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display,
46
+ communicate, and translate a Work;
47
+ ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
48
+ iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or
49
+ likeness depicted in a Work;
50
+ iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
51
+ subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
52
+ v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data
53
+ in a Work;
54
+ vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
55
+ European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
56
+ protection of databases, and under any national implementation
57
+ thereof, including any amended or successor version of such
58
+ directive); and
59
+ vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the
60
+ world based on applicable law or treaty, and any national
61
+ implementations thereof.
62
+
63
+ 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention
64
+ of, applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently,
65
+ irrevocably and unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of
66
+ Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights and associated claims and causes
67
+ of action, whether now known or unknown (including existing as well as
68
+ future claims and causes of action), in the Work (i) in all territories
69
+ worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration provided by applicable law or
70
+ treaty (including future time extensions), (iii) in any current or future
71
+ medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever,
72
+ including without limitation commercial, advertising or promotional
73
+ purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes the Waiver for the benefit of each
74
+ member of the public at large and to the detriment of Affirmer's heirs and
75
+ successors, fully intending that such Waiver shall not be subject to
76
+ revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or any other legal or
77
+ equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work by the public
78
+ as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
79
+
80
+ 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason
81
+ be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the
82
+ Waiver shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into
83
+ account Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the
84
+ extent the Waiver is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected
85
+ person a royalty-free, non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive,
86
+ irrevocable and unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and
87
+ Related Rights in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the
88
+ maximum duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future
89
+ time extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number
90
+ of copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without
91
+ limitation commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the
92
+ "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as of the date CC0 was
93
+ applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the License for any
94
+ reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, such
95
+ partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not invalidate the remainder
96
+ of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby affirms that he or she
97
+ will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining Copyright and Related
98
+ Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims and causes of
99
+ action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to Affirmer's
100
+ express Statement of Purpose.
101
+
102
+ 4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
103
+
104
+ a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
105
+ surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
106
+ b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or
107
+ warranties of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied,
108
+ statutory or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of
109
+ title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non
110
+ infringement, or the absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or
111
+ the present or absence of errors, whether or not discoverable, all to
112
+ the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
113
+ c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
114
+ that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without
115
+ limitation any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work.
116
+ Further, Affirmer disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary
117
+ consents, permissions or other rights required for any use of the
118
+ Work.
119
+ d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
120
+ party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to
121
+ this CC0 or use of the Work.

+ # zensical-updates
29
+
30
+ Generate a dated "Updates" (blog) section for [zensical](https://zensical.org)
31
+ sites as plain Markdown. zensical ships no blog plugin, so this CLI runs as a
32
+ pre-build step. It reads your post files and writes an index listing, per-year
33
+ archives, and tag and category pages that zensical then builds.
34
+
35
+ ## How it works
36
+
37
+ Writers keep posts in a source directory (default `updates/`), one Markdown file
38
+ per post. Each post carries a `date` and optional `categories`/`tags` in
39
+ block-list front matter:
40
+
41
+ ```markdown
42
+ ---
43
+ date: 2026-06-11
44
+ categories:
45
+ - weekly-update
46
+ tags:
47
+ - epf
48
+ ---
49
+
50
+ # Hello world
51
+
52
+ The first paragraph becomes the listing excerpt.
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ `zensical-updates build` copies each post to `docs/<base>/<slug>.md` and writes
56
+ the generated section around it (the index, `archive/`, `tags/`, `categories/`).
57
+ A post at `docs/updates/hello.md` renders at `/updates/hello/`, and every
58
+ generated link points there. Run it before zensical:
59
+
60
+ ```bash
61
+ zensical-updates build # writes docs/updates/
62
+ zensical build --clean --strict
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ The generated `docs/<base>/` tree is build output. Gitignore it. The source tree
66
+ stays under version control, and the generator never edits it.

2

3
+ Generate a dated "Updates" (blog) section for zensical sites as plain Markdown.
4
+ zensical has no blog plugin, so this CLI runs as a pre-build step that writes an
5
+ index listing, per-year archives, and tag and category pages.
6
+
7
+ ## Install
8
+
9
+ Not on PyPI yet. Pin from git:
10
+
11
+ ```bash
12
+ uv add "zensical-updates @ git+https://github.com/IvanAnishchuk/zensical-updates"
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ ## Quickstart
16
+
17
+ ```bash
18
+ zensical-updates build # writes docs/<base>/
19
+ zensical build --clean --strict
20
+ ```

1
+ # Usage
2
+
3
+ ## Write posts
4
+
5
+ Put one Markdown file per post in your source directory (default `updates/`, set
6
+ by the `source` config key). The file stem becomes the slug and the URL segment,
7
+ so name files for the URL you want: `updates/hello-world.md` renders at
8
+ `/updates/hello-world/`.
9
+
10
+ Each post needs a `date` in front matter. Use block-style lists for `categories`
11
+ and `tags`; a flow list like `[weekly-update]` breaks zensical's strict build,
12
+ which reads it as an unresolved reference link.
13
+
14
+ ```markdown
15
+ ---
16
+ date: 2026-06-11
17
+ categories:
18
+ - weekly-update
19
+ tags:
20
+ - epf
21
+ ---
22
+
23
+ # Hello world
24
+
25
+ The first paragraph becomes the listing excerpt. Mark a cut point with
26
+ `<!-- more -->` to control where the excerpt ends.
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ An optional `updates/index.md` holds the section intro. Its body is placed above
30
+ the generated listing on the landing page.
31
+
32
+ ## Configure
33
+
34
+ Settings live in `zensical.toml` under `[project.extra.zensical_updates]`:
35
+
36
+ ```toml
37
+ [project.extra.zensical_updates]
38
+ base = "updates" # section dir under docs/ and the URL base
39
+ source = "updates" # where your post files live, outside docs/
40
+ intro = "index.md" # the intro file within source/
41
+ excerpt_marker = "<!-- more -->"
42
+ emit_tags = true
43
+ emit_categories = true
44
+ emit_archive = true
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ ## Build
48
+
49
+ ```bash
50
+ zensical-updates build # generate docs/<base>/
51
+ zensical build --clean --strict # build the site
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ The generated `docs/<base>/` tree is build output. Add it to `.gitignore`. Run
55
+ `zensical-updates clean` to remove it. An invalid post (for example one with no
56
+ `date`) fails the build with a message naming the file.
57
+
58
+ ## Library
59
+
60
+ The same operations are available as functions:
61
+
62
+ ```python
63
+ from pathlib import Path
64
+
65
+ from zensical_updates import Config, build_site, clean_site
66
+
67
+ result = build_site(Config(), Path("."))
68
+ print(result.post_urls)
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ The supported surface is whatever `zensical_updates.__all__` lists. See the
72
+ [API Reference](api.md).
