The Data Journalism Handbook

This repository contains the source files for the Data Journalism Handbook. The handbook was started at Mozilla Festival 2011 as a collaboration between over 70 experts, coordinated by the European Journalism Center and the Open Knowledge Foundation.

How to build the DDJBook

  • Install Python libraries "lxml" and "jinja2", possibly into a virtualenv
  • Install Jekyll
  • Checkout the repo on "master"
  • Convert the book to docbook, e.g. asciidoc --backend docbook book.asc
  • Run "python jekyllify.py" to convert the outcoming book HTML into a Jekyll site
  • Go into the "web" directory
  • Run "jekyll" (or "jekyll --auto --server" during development)

This will generate the new site, based on the templates in web/_layouts/default.html
