- guitarbill 9y agoI didn't get very far, because I found it hard to even specify which template a page should use. I tried to do it via the YAML front matter, but that gets clobbered. I could have written an extension that un-clobbers/sets it via the 'page_templates' hook, but there are other problems. You'd have to re-write all your links, and the way you attach e.g. images to a post (for me the biggest deal breaker). You'd also have to write your own extensions for tags, neighbour pages, and much more. To be fair, the author never claimed it replaced Pelican or any other blog-capable static site generator. If you have a very simple site, it could work. I also get the feeling Ivy is a bit of a vehicle to push the author's replacements for argparse (janus), markdown (monk), and jinja (ibis).
