Blogging Series Support

[sheldonhull]

@squidfunk @eyllanesc To avoid dilution of the primary post on blogging #3353 , I'm responding here with some detail regarding series support for blogging here as it's not a core blogging feature, but an enhancement.

It should also implement the concept of "Series", that is, a set of related articles. An example is kubasejdak.com/techniques-of-variadic-templates:

I am not as familiar with the templating engine of Mkdocs (Jinga?), but thought maybe the implementation I leveraged in Hugo would be useful.

I found the "partials" in Hugo templates solved this very nicely by allowing you to just add a front-matter value and have it show up based on matching series name.

• My Goland Log is flagged with a series title for Goland.
• The front matter just requires me to add series: ['goland'] and whenever I rebuild my site all the pages get linked in publish order. There is no more having to maintain a "this is post n of x" like I did manually before.
• The rendering looks like image below
• And the partial is constructed like this: series.html

DoIt theme also implements the feature.

Thanks, this is indeed a great idea! I'm not sure it will be part of the first iteration, but definitely something worth adding when we got basic blogging support of the ground.
