new defn shortcode and other website developments

[behoppe]

Hi All,

Thanks for working on your assigned website pages. If you have any issues with Netlify CMS, please let me know. FYI I have had enough problems with it myself that I am actively looking for better CMS options, per this issue.

Now for the good news: I have implemented a new "Eleventy shortcode" which makes it easy to reference entries in our up-and-coming glossary.

• {% defn "term", "optional_display text" %}: this shortcode renders "term" (or "optional_display_text") as a link to the glossary entry for "term".

This shortcode joins a few others now documented in CONTRIBUTING.md. I hope they all help your article-writing.

• {% img "/img/filename.ext", "optional_size" %}: this shortcode displays a centered image (as a CSS block), sized so that neither its width nor height exceed "optional_size", which defaults to 400px.
  • {% imgRight "/img/filename.ext", "size" %}: similar to img but floats right
  • {% imgLeft "/img/filename.ext", "size" %}: similar to img but floats left
• {% alert "optional_style" %} lorem ipsum {% endalert %}: this paired shortcode renders its content inside a Bootstrap 5 alert box, using "optional_style" as the style of alert ("info" is the default).

If you try {% defn "term" %} then fyi you will probably also notice this issue with anchor tags hidden under the navbar.
