mxtsecure.github.io

A lightweight static site for Xiangtao Meng's research profile. Content is centrally managed in data/site.json and rendered into the docs/ directory for GitHub Pages.

Build

The build script uses only Python's standard library and reads content from data/site.json.

python build.py

Layout toggles and assets

• Optional sections (news, publications, projects, resources, blog, essays, legacy archive) are gated by the toggles map in data/site.json.
• Navigation items and hero actions share the same toggle keys to keep optional entrances consistent.
• Images, downloads, and archived jemdoc placeholders live under static/assets/ and are referenced via relative paths (for example assets/downloads/cv.pdf).

Styles

• static/assets/styles.scss documents the tokenized theme (light/dark ready) and component primitives; static/assets/styles.css is the compiled output copied into docs/ during the build.

Deploy

Set GitHub Pages to serve from the docs/ folder on the default branch. The build step copies assets and photos while filling missing links/images with placeholders so the page can always render.
