After Dark provides RSS web feeds conforming with the {{< external "https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html" "RSS 2.0 Specification" />}} and enhanced semantically using the following custom extensions:
Feeds are generated automatically on a per-section basis, in addition to a consolidated site-wide feed combining content from across the site:
Add multimedia attachments to pages and posts using RSS enclosures. Enclosures will output automatically to feeds when supplied. To supply an enclosure create a {{< external "https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/" "Page Bundle" />}} as described in [Post Images]({{< relref "post-images" >}}) and shown here for a blog post:
├── archetypes
├── content
│ └── post
│ └── backup-restore-macos-mojave
│ ├── assets
│ │ └── macos_v10.14.3-upgrade-fail.mp4
│ ├── images
│ └── index.md
├── layouts
Then reference the resource from front matter as shown here:
[[resources]]
src = "assets/macos_v10.14.3-upgrade-fail.mp4"
name = "enclosure"
title = "Software Update Malfunction: Mojave 10.14.3"
[resources.params]
length = "3705578"
{{% hackcss-alert type="info" %}}Note: Length is the number of bytes in the file and required by RSS 2.0 spec.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}
{{% hackcss-alert type="success" %}}Tip: From a terminal get length using wc -c < /path/to/file
.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}
Enclosures may be output to page content by creating a custom shortcode or using a [Custom Layout]({{< relref "custom-layouts" >}}) with content like:
{{ with .Resources.GetMatch "enclosure" }}{{ if .Params.length }}
<svg id="i-paperclip" viewBox="0 0 32 32" width="16" height="16" fill="none" stroke="var(--accent-color)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2">
<path d="M10 9 L10 24 C10 28 13 30 16 30 19 30 22 28 22 24 L22 6 C22 3 20 2 18 2 16 2 14 3 14 6 L14 23 C14 24 15 25 16 25 17 25 18 24 18 23 L18 9" />
</svg>
<a href="{{ .Permalink }}" title="{{ with .Title }}{{ . }} {{ end }}[{{ .Params.length }} byte {{ .MediaType }}]">Enclosure</a>
{{ end }}{{ end }}
