Each content type (blog, doc, api-reference, etc.) can have its own strategy that defines: How pages are sorted What pages are shown in list views Whether pagination is used What template to use Methods 5 sort_pages Sort pages for display in list views. 1 list[Page] Caret Right def sort_pages(self, pages: list[Page]) -> list[Page] Sort pages for display in list views. Parameters 1 pages list[Page] List of pages to sort Returns list[Page] — Sorted list of pages Default: Sort by weight (ascending), then title (alphabetical) filter_display_pages Filter which pages to show in list views. 2 list[Page] Caret Right def filter_display_pages(self, pages: list[Page], index_page: Page | None = None) -> list[Page] Filter which pages to show in list views. Parameters 2 pages list[Page] All pages in the section index_page Page | None The section's index page (to exclude from lists) Returns list[Page] — Filtered list of pages Default: Exclude the index page itself should_paginate Determine if this content type should use pagination. 2 bool Caret Right def should_paginate(self, page_count: int, config: dict[str, Any]) -> bool Determine if this content type should use pagination. Parameters 2 page_count int Number of pages in section config dict[str, Any] Site configuration Returns bool — True if pagination should be used Default: No pagination unless explicitly enabled get_template Determine which template to use for a page. 2 str Caret Right def get_template(self, page: Page | None = None, template_engine: Any | None = None) -> str Determine which template to use for a page. Parameters 2 page Page | None Page to get template for (optional for backward compatibility) template_engine Any | None Template engine for checking template existence (optional) Returns str — Template name (e.g., "blog/home.html", "doc/single.html") Default implementation provides sensible fallbacks: Home pages: try {type}/home.html, then home.html, then index.html Section indexes: try {type}/list.html, then list.html Regular pages: try {type}/single.html, then single.html Note: For backward compatibility, if page is None, returns default_template. detect_from_section Determine if this strategy applies to a section based on heuristics. Override … 1 bool Caret Right def detect_from_section(self, section: Section) -> bool Determine if this strategy applies to a section based on heuristics. Override this in subclasses to provide auto-detection logic. Parameters 1 section Section Section to analyze Returns bool — True if this strategy should be used for this section Default: False (must be explicitly set) Internal Methods 1 Caret Right _get_type_name Get the type name for this strategy (e.g., "blog", "doc"). 0 str Caret Right def _get_type_name(self) -> str Get the type name for this strategy (e.g., "blog", "doc").
