Welcome to the default theme for faculty profile pages! We hope that you like it. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach us at: webmaster@iitgn.ac.in

Meanwhile, take a look around and modify this theme to suit your needs. This theme is, at the moment, best suited for small 5-20 page websites with not too much dynamic content and where the demands are not too sophisticated. This is a mostly responsive theme implemented in Kirby.

Kirby parses text written in Markdown and HTML from a content folder, dresses it up based on themes in a templates folder, and displays it on your site. The good news is that you only have to interact with the content and not worry too much about the look and feel. Basic formatting is made possible, of course. You can either edit the files directly or access them via a web interface (the Kirby Panel) - more details are below.

You will need to edit the site.txt file in the content/ folder to change the title of the page.

We currently support LaTeX via MathJax, generation of a list of publications via BibTeX, simple multi-column layouts, and a few other features. More is coming soon! The following is a bare-bones documentation for the present setup. It should be enough to get you going. More detailed docs and screencasts are also coming soon, and we will also have a public roadmap that you can follow and vote on the features that you want the most.

Editing this website

You can edit pages via an administrative panel which can be accessed by simply going to:

http://people.iitgn.ac.in/~YOURNAME/panel 

On your first visit you will be asked to create an account, once you do that,

Please be sure to use a strong password. Definitely not one of these!

Formatting

All content is formatted using Markdown, which is even simpler than HTML! If you are not familiar with Markdown, learn it in about five minutes by looking at the tutorial here. The syntax is really what we use traditionally on plaintext emails to indicate formatting (for instance, aestrix for bold; underline for italics and so on).

- Solomon Grundy,
- Born on a Monday,
- Christened on Tuesday,
- Married on Wednesday,
- Took ill on Thursday,
- Grew worse on Friday,
- Died on Saturday,
- Buried on Sunday,
- That was the end,
- Of Solomon Grundy

If you are already familiar with HTML, you can use HTML directly too. You can also mix and match HTML and Markdown! To have the contents of a div element be parsed as markdown, be sure to pass markdown="1".

Admittedly, things like images can be a bit painful, which is why we are empowered by Kirbytext, the docs of which can be found here. It's easy to add images, documents and videos to your content with this syntax.

Publications

Publications can be parsed and displayed from a .bib file in the root of the contents folder. This is work in progress, but a basic searchable list is produced at the moment, which is shown on the publications page.

LaTeX Support

We load MathJax from a third-party CDN. So, as the MathJax documentation says, when $a \ne 0$, there are two solutions to $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ and they are $$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$ To avoid conflicts with Kirby, please use the single-dollar for normal math and the double-dollar for centered math environments. Let us know if you would like to have more fine-grained control over the configuration that you pass on to MathJax.

Advanced Layout

Head over to the demo page to see colored boxes and multi-column layouts. View the file in the panel to see how the effects are achieved; then imitate to make them your own 😇

We're working on bringing tabbed content, collapsible content, more advanced tooltips and image sliders soon. Let us know what you want the most!
