How to get the Pelican version number from a template
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I would like to add metadata in the HTML output, indicating that the page was generated from Pelican, and adding the Pelican version number. But I don't find how to get this number. I find no Pelican variable to have this information.
Calling the executable seems the only way?
% pelican --version
3.7.1

I do not know if there is a more direct way to accomplish this, but you could add the following code in your configuration file (pelicanconf.py by default):
from pelican import __version__
PELICAN_VERSION = __version__
Now, you can reference this newly created variable in your HTML templates with Jinja2 syntax like so:
<p>I am using Pelican {{ PELICAN_VERSION }}.</p>
When you generate the content of your website to get a directory with static files (this is in output/ by default), the content of the variable PELICAN_VERSION will be added like any other variable in your configuration file and you should be good to go.
