News posts should announce things like new manuscripts, members, awards, and talks.
Each post has its own file in the /contents/news/ folder.
It's a good idea to name the posts according to the scheme {YYYY}{MM}{DD}_{SLUG} where {SLUG} is a one or two word description of the news article, in all lower case, with spaces replaced with underscores (_).
There are a couple of standard page variables to change.
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
title |
The title of the post. This will appear in the headline. | "COMBINE goes to ISMB '23" |
date |
The date that this post is published. In YYYY-MM-DD format. | "2023-07-02" |
description |
A short description of the post. This is shown on the page that lists all news items, and give people an idea of what the post entails. | "Read about the three talk we gave at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology conference!" |
