How this blog styles keyboard keys

One of the features this blog uses from the PyMdown Extensions extension is the Keys option. That options enables ++ as Markdown syntax and converts it to HTML5's <kbd></kbd> html.

This means that ++ctrl+alt+delete++ renders out as Ctrl+Alt+Del. Better information is available on the official help.

Installation

Install the Python package into Pelican's Python environment:

pip install pymdown-extensions

Configuration

Enable it in the pelicanconf.py file, in the MARKDOWN variable:

# Extra configuration settings for the Markdown processor.
MARKDOWN = {
    "extension_configs": {
        ....
        'pymdownx.keys' : {},
        ....
    },
    'output_format': 'html5'
}
