Sass is supported by webgen and it seems that compass is just a layer
on top of Sass (from a first look at it). So you might just get away by
putting the needed sass files in webgen's src/ directory and naming
them something.sass.css.

If there is something more to it, you may have to create a content
processor for compass (you can take the one from sass and change the
needed parts).

Hi webgen users,

  I am using the tool for some weeks and now I am trying to maximize
content reuse. I have a block of content (called "announce") which
should be rendered in my leftside bar, for SOME of my pages. So I
created a file called "announces.inc" in my root website folder and
tried to conditionally call it, inside default.template, like the
following code:

			<% if context.node.node_info[:page].blocks.has_key?('announce') %>
				<div id="announce">

					<webgen:block name="announce" />
					{include_file: news.inc}

				</div>
			<% end %>


 The condition works fine, selecting the appropriatte files to include
the content, but the content itself is not well formatted as expected.
Instead of using CSS properties defined to "announce" class, the raw
"markdown" tags are presented in the output files, exact like this:

### News: **09/set/2009:** New version of home-page, using *webgen*.
[Read more...](noticia001.html) ### Comments: [Place a comment about
my page...](comments.html#disqus_thread)

What am I doing wrong here?

Another problem I have is that I want to create a page with some news.
The headlines should appear at the main body of a "first news
page" (FNP), with links to each complete article. Each article is a
file newsXXX.page (newsXXX.html after webgen) and those headlines in
the FNP should be ordered by date. Each time I put a new file on this
folder, I will recompile the code and I would like it to have the
headlines updated in the FNP. Is this possible?

Thx 4 your attention and help,

 Paulo

Did you try to set the process_output argument to include_file?

No idea there, but I want to do basically the same, so I'm interested
in anything you find :)

Okay, I think what you want. You should do the following: create a file
called "announces.page" (not .inc) and set the meta information
`no_output: true` (then the page itself does not get rendered into an
output file). After that you use the following instead of the
`include_file` tag:

    <webgen:block name="content" chain="announces.html" />

This renders the content of the announces.page according to *its
processing pipeline* and not according to the processing of the
default.template which is what you probably want.

Certainly, yes. You would need some ERB to do this, something like the
following in your FNP file:

<%
context.content_node.tree.node_access[:alcn].select do |alcn,no|
  alcn =~ /\/news.*\.html/ && no.is_file?
end.collect {|na,no| no}.sort do |a,b|
  a['sort_date'] <=> b['sort_date']
end.reverse.each do |node|
%>
<h1><%= node.title %></h1>
Published on <%= node['created_at'].strftime("%A, %d %B %Y") %> - 
<%= context.dest_node.link_to(node, :link_text => "More information...") %>
<% end %>
The second line selects the nodes by matching the ALCN to a pattern (in
this case, all files like /news*.html). The fourth line sorts the files
by the meta information `sort_date` which has to be set by all files
(you can use any other meta information key). The body just puts the
title of the news page in an H1 header and puts a link to the page
below.

Best regards,
  Thomas

Thank you very much, Thomas!!!

   I tried your suggestions and almost everything I needed is running
fine right now. I will comment out some details in the lines below, to
keep the forum well documented...

  Works like a charm, as I needed!!! ;)

  Ok, again it works, with some minor problems and corrections:
  1. Instead of
     >>>                 <h1><%= node.title %></h1>

      I am using
     >>>                  <h1><%= node['routed_title'] %></h1>

  2. One problem I could not solve yet is the next line:
      >>>  Published on <%= node['created_at'].strftime("%A, %d %B
%Y") %> -

      I keep getting error messages saying that some "nil" class
doesn't know the
   strftime method. But I can live without this.

  3. Another one is as follows: my FNP includes, on top of actual
headlines from my news, a "fake"
     headline containing title of the index.html page on my "news"
folder. I tried using "in_menu: false"
     and "no_output: true", but without success as of now. In summary,
if I have N news in the folder,
     I get N+1 headlines in my FNP, and the first one is a fake news
corresponding to the index page.

As I am not initiated with Ruby, for now, I could not fix this. Any
ideas? Thx again for your help.

That's okay but `routed_title` is normally only defined for directory
index files. So you might want to use something like

    <h1><%= node['routed_title'] || node['title'] %></h1>

And `node.title` naturally doesn't work ;-) My fault, sorry!

Try using the meta information `modified_at` instead of `created_at`.
The former is available on all nodes while the latter has to be set
individually since it cannot be derived.

Ah, okay. If all page files in your "news" folder are news files except
the index.page, you can use the following (replace the fomer version):

<%
context.content_node.tree.node_access[:alcn].select do |alcn,no|
  alcn =~ /\/news\/.*\.html/ && no.is_file? && no.acn != '/news/index.html'
