# C++ tips

Personal C++ notes.

## Installation

[Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/) is used to build a set of static HTML pages from a collection of templates and resources.
Jekyll doesn't support Windows, however at the moment of writing one can get it to work using the excellent tutorial at http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/.

I'm using [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) to set up a development environment.
After the `bundler` gem is installed, project dependencies can be installed by running

    bundle install

in the project's root directory.

## Development

To run a local web server, run

    bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --drafts --config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml

from the project's root directory.
You can then review your changes at http://localhost:4000/.

Please note that the support for `--watch`ing for modification on Windows is kind of iffy at the moment of writing.
One possible workaround is to add `--force_polling` to `jekyll`s options:

    bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --force_polling --drafts --config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml

It might still not work though, so you might end up having to re-run `jekyll` manually.
For details, refer to http://jekyll-windows.juthilo.com/4-wdm-gem/.

Note that `_config_dev.yml` is included to rewrite some of the `site` fields from `_config.yml` during development.
In particular, it

* sets `minified_externals` to `false` so that the properly formatted versions of external CSS stylesheets and JavaScript files are included instead of the `min`ified versions,
* sets `include_comments` to `false` to exclude the Disqus comments section from the posts,
* opts for the `rouge` gem for syntax highlighting instead of the default [Pygments](http://pygments.org/),
* sets `baseurl` to an empty string, pretending the website access from the root directory of a domain instead of from `cpp_tips/`.
