Posted on: 19 April 2023

The internal functions of the GTN have, in the past, not been very well documented. Now we have started the process of fully documenting the functions and modules available to GTN developers.

Our library of liquid filters, and functions that we use throughout the GTN, can be found at the GTN Rdoc page. For example many of our filters are available in Jekyll::GtnFunctions

This documentation is a work in progress but will improve over time, as we hopefully consolidate and clean up our function library into a more useful “GTN” module.

New Feature: Persistent URLs (PURLs) / Shortlinks

19 April 2023   new feature gtn

The GTN has added persistent URL identifiers for our tutorials, slides, and FAQs. Using the gxy.io service, we have reserved GTN namespace for our persistent URLs. These work similarly to DOIs in that they will always point to a specific training material.
