Flavours
A flavour can be thought of as a theme or a type of output.
Another characteristic of Blosxom derived systems is the use of flavours. By appending a ?flav=<label> to the end of any PyBlosxom URI, you can specify what output format (aka flavour) you would like. The weblog world is full of potential output formats: HTML, XHTML, RSS (several different varieties), Atom, etc. The flavour system allows a PyBlosxom user to define a new flavour in order to produce output in one or more of these formats. Additionally, flavours can be theme-oriented: sunshine, rainy-day, purple-pie-man, etc.
A flavour consists of a series of templates which are assembled to form the completed output. Using this template system allows PyBlosxom users to use flavour templates built by users of other *osxom systems with only a few modifications.
