GOV.UK Content Best Practices

This repository hosts snapshots of gov.uk pages acting as examples of pages using content best practices.

Adding new pages manually

• Navigate to the /snapshots dir and create a new file, here's how
• The new file name should be <words-separated-with-hyphens>.html eg example-content.html
• Paste the contents of the template file there.
• Open the original page that you want to take a snapshot of and copy either <div id='whitehall-wrapper'> or <div id='whitehall-wrapper'> tag with its contents. You can do it by finding those elements via developer tools.
• Replace <div id="placeholder">REPLACE THIS WHOLE DIV WITH PASTED CONTENT</div> with everything you've copied in the step above.
• Open a pull request with the new file explaining the changes
• Someone will review the changes and merge them to the gh-pages branch, which will make the new page available at http://alphagov.github.io/govuk-content-best-practices/snapshots/{your-file-name}.html

Adding new pages automatically

• Update the list of links in exec/crawl.rb
• run ruby exec/crawl.rb

Alternatively you can use the Crawler class in ruby:

Crawler.new(["https://gov.uk/something"], persist_to: '/tmp').run
