I'm making a blog using Ruby on Rails, but I'd like to make it so that I write the posts in html on my favorite text editor rather than on the browser, similarly to how it is done on Jekyll.
I know that I could save html as text in the database and use the 'raw' helper, but I would like to see some recommended approaches.
Thank you!

I am using Django web frame work. I am taking pdf files from users (notes/book/etc). Then I want to display those pdf in website, but I could not find a way. Methods that failed 1)iframe 2)simple rendering using django 3)pdf.js library. Also browser blocks rendering initially. Care to suggest a method and steps to implement it.
I the answer to your problem is here :
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/outputting-pdf/
Well the answer has to be very very clear here. You can not display pdf using. There is no such library for that. Like pdf.js for javascript based frameworks. I have done the research. So if you want a really good pdf viewer for your django powered website you have to use pdf.js for sure. I have asked people working with django professionally.
output in firefox
ouput in chromium browser
Now 2nd output is what we want
here is the code
I would like to add a feature to my Django website where the user can click on a link saying "Save as PDF". I would like this link to 1) produce a slightly different version of the page the user is currently on and 2) generate a PDF file in a separate window that the user can then save to wherever he or she wants.
All of the PDF functions I came across related to Django assumed that you already had a PDF that you wanted to render. In this case though, I want to create a PDF based on the content of the current page. Any idea how to do this? Thank you.
You can try this tool WeasyPrint. You can use it with Django
Any webpage is just a HTML basically so any html to pdf library would work. But this one is specifically built for django. Hope this helps.

I am doing a basic web crawler work for this web page (just for study purpose, and I have got their permission):
http://www.seattle.gov/council/calendar#/?i=0
What I wanted to do is to get all the events' "Time", "Description" and "Location" in that form. I have tried python regular expression however it looks like these information does not show up in the HTML code of this page. Instead, I am using a Selenium, but I still don't know where to find this information.
Sometimes, things are in front of you but you don't see them.
You can fetch/extract that data from their RSS Feed. It's here: http://www.trumba.com/calendars/seattle-city-council.rss
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure where to begin, as in do I start working towards PHP, Ruby or what, but here is what I'd like to do:
I have a Python script that takes a pre-formatted Excel document and using xlrd and Django, I output a nicely formatted HTML page, based on a template HTML page.
But currently on my team, I'm the only one that can use this Python script because our setups, and I'd like to simplify the process by creating a web app that has a couple drop down menus to specify which script to run, then let me upload the .xls file, at which point the HTML file is automatically generated and a download link is created or the HTML file is spit out somehow.
Does anyone have any guidance as to how I should even begin this project?
I would suggest having a good read of the django docs, and probably working through the tutorials.
Django's documentation is very good.
If you just want to hack at the code you've got then probably read the following to get a very basic overview of some core django functionality -
url dispatcher
views
models
forms
templating
With your app, the url dispatcher will pass the request to a view which will use a template to render your excel document.
You want a form to handle your user parameters and a single view to render and process the form and also render the excel template.
Im working a newspaper, and I was wondering if its possible to display different categories from another Website, and display in my website. This site created by Joomla 2.5, I Hope someone understands this :)
Since your site is the Joomla one, you could either write a custom extension or more simply use the Jumi extension so you can write PHP code directly in the article or page on which you need to grab the content from the other site.
Then depending on what you know about the other site, there are different approaches. If it offers an API or RSS feed, you can use that to pull the content you need (and use PHP string functions for instance to modify it as you need). If the other site doesn't have an obvious way of offering content through a web service, try PHP curl, and again you can modify the content before displaying it. Check out this page too: How to parse actual HTML from page using CURL?
As Arunu said an iFrame could also work if you don't need to modify the other site's content.
What u wish to do can be accomplished using RSS feed or an i-frame.But from ur question
it's not clear which site is using joomla.
