Pelican Bootstrapify

Overview

Bootstrapify is a powerful Pelican plugin designed for enhancing the styling of your articles and pages by utilizing Bootstrap's default classes. This plugin is particularly useful for those who prefer to write tables in Markdown but encounter limitations due to the attr_list extension's incompatibility with table formatting. By seamlessly integrating Bootstrap's styling, Bootstrapify streamlines the process of creating visually appealing web content.

This plugin comes with essential features that facilitate an effortless user experience, especially for developers looking to enhance the presentation of tables and images in their Markdown documents. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a novice, Bootstrapify simplifies the integration of responsive design into your Pelican-powered site.
