Hi Everyone,

I didn't like the appearance of my first submission, and have revised formatting.

Thanks for your submission and for your revision.


Do I need to create a new pull request or will my changes happen automatically?

Since your pull request was already merged then yes, you need to create a new pull request (i.e., a new branch and then a pull request).


Sorry to ask these questions but, trying to get up to speed with lots of

Don't be afraid to ask questions. We're afraid of people that don't ask questions! :-)

things (contributing to a GitHub project, learning Asciidoc etc.) I need really, really simple info with examples. These things are not easy to find on the web.


Agreed. All that stuff is complicated. That's the reason why we're glad you ask us.

Finally, how are the live pages created? Is it possible to run apps on

The NetBeans website is built with a gradle project.

Just clone your fork of the incubator-netbeans-website in a directory of your liking:

cd my-repositories (or whatever)

git clone g...@github.com:JeremyCavanagh/incubator-netbeans-website.git
(if you have a ssh key, or)

git clone https://github.com/JeremyCavanagh/incubator-netbeans-website.git
(if you don't)

then:

cd "incubator-netbeans-website" (this is where git cloned the repo)
cd "netbeans.apache.org" (this is a directory inside the repo)
./gradlew clean buildSite run

(the "clean" is only required if you've built the site before and made important changes)

This will generate lots of output, download half internet, show some warnings, and then you can browse http://localhost:8080 and you should see your local website.

my Mac so that I can test before making submissions. I am currently

Testing before making submissions is appreciated.

doing changes on Atom with all the Asciidoc plugins I can find but, although the appearance in preview seems reasonable it is not the same as the 'live' version.

Exactly. The gradle project above adds some css/images/etc. to the generated HTML automatically.

It's ok if you use any other editor. The visualization of the asciidoc documents won't be the same, but the important thing is the content, not the way it looks. Just build the site once before submitting.

If you see something very bad in the generated website (fonts, colors, layout, etc.) then just let us know. We're improving the site continuosly.


Any help would be gratefully accepted as I don't want to make any more submissions until I am sure that what I do will look okay on the NetBeans website.


Thanks for that.

Some help: Don't add newlines between the first level and the document metadata. So, for instance, this is wrong:

= The title

:foo: bar

But this is right:

= The title
:foo: bar


Kindest regards

Jeremy


Thanks for helping!

Un abrazo,
Antonio
