Are you ready to turn those Markdown files into a beautiful, functional website? This guide will take you through the steps of generating a website using Jekyll and Rouge. Let’s dive in!

Getting Started with Jekyll and Rouge

Before we begin, you need to have Jekyll and Rouge set up in your workspace. Both tools can be easily installed using Bundler. Here’s how:

• Ensure you have Jekyll and Rouge ready for action.
• Run bundle install in your project directory to install the necessary gems.
• It’s recommended to read more on the Apache Spark README for additional instructions.

Building Your Website

Now that your environment is set up, it’s time to generate the HTML from your Markdown files. Here’s how to do it step by step:

• Run bundle exec jekyll build in your directory. This command compiles your Markdown files into HTML.
• If you wish to automatically recompile your files as you make changes, add the --watch flag like this: bundle exec jekyll build --watch.
• To test your website locally, run bundle exec jekyll serve. Your new site will be accessible at http://localhost:4000.
• Keep in mind to always run bundle exec jekyll build after testing for broken links to keep everything intact.

Updating Jekyll Version

Updating Jekyll or any other gems in your project is a straightforward process:

1. Open your Gemfile and update the Jekyll version.
2. Run bundle update to refresh your Gemfile.lock.
3. Commit both the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock to your version control system.

Understanding the Docs Directory

It’s important to note that the docs for your project are not generated as part of the website directly. They are compiled separately and need to be copied to the docs directory manually after building them from the Spark source repository. Be sure to check the instructions for building those in the documentation from the Spark project.

Syntax Highlighting with Rouge

When you create Markdown pages, having the right syntax highlighting is essential, especially for code snippets. When using Rouge, your HTML output will align perfectly with styles designed for Pygments. Here’s how you can highlight your code:

% highlight scala %
Your Scala code goes here, you can replace Scala with many other supported languages too.
% endhighlight %

Merging Pull Requests

If you need to merge pull requests, Jekyll offers a streamlined approach via the merge_pr.py script, which helps in squashing commits during the process.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into any issues while generating your website, try the following solutions:

• Ensure all dependencies are installed by running bundle install.
• Check your Gemfile for any conflicting versions of Jekyll or Rouge.
• If your website doesn’t compile, ensure that you’ve saved all your changes before running the build command.
