[radoeka]

The attached patch provide tag_cloud support: flex-tag_cloud.zip.
Would be nice if this can be add to Flex.

Improved version (updated css file). This one uses the 'fit-content' width directive.

Patch can be applied from the Flex top directory with: "patch -p8 < flex-tag_cloud-1.patch"
flex-tag_cloud-1.zip.

It introduces 2 new stings to be translated:

translations/messages.pot
+#: templates/tags.html:13
+msgid "Tag Cloud"
+msgstr ""
+
+#: templates/tags.html:22
+msgid "Tag List"
+msgstr ""

Feel free to submit the patch as a pull request.

I would have done so, if I knew the steps how to make a PR.
Can you provide the steps to make a pull request (I don't have write permission to the Flex repository), please.

So, there is a tag-cloud plugin for Pelican, I'll consider this for Flex 3.0.

@alexandrevicenzi what a coincidence, I just started to play with this plugin last week (again).

I've a nice result already, but I still need your support in getting the code that I currently have to you (see update Jul 26, 2021). But let me share what I currently have. See the attached zip file:
tag_cloud-flex-20230401.zip

The looks as follows (modified tags.html page):

The colors work in the light as well as in the dark theme. However, at the moment the colors are fixed in css.

I hope that my changes can be integrated with Flex (v3). At the moment the styling is based on the class. However, I'm checking out this article create-a-tag-cloud-with-html-and-css, that used a "data-" attribute to do the styling. As such I added this attribute already to the "a" tag.

Is there a way to communicate to you outside this ticket (e.g. using email)? I've some other items that I would like to share with Flex. For example styling for the markdown ".toc" (Table of Contents) tag, as well as an action-banner.
But as most of these requires CSS and translations it is hard to do so.

I'll still have to checkout v3, perhaps things are easier over there...

[alexandrevicenzi]

v3 is a work in progress, but the idea is to make things easier.

I'm on Matrix as @avicenzi:matrix.org or @avicenzi:opensuse.org.
