This is a bugfix release, which fixes compatibility with python-markdown and two more minor bugs. What is Nikola? =============== Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/ Downloads ========= Install using ``pip install Nikola``. Changes ======= * Compatibility with Markdown 3.4.0 (Issue #3635) * Find substring in string instead of using ``contains`` in utils * Don't add semicolon in docinfo fields via CSS (caused duplicated semicolons) Nikola now requires Python 3.7 or newer.
