Implements the course schedule feature requested in issue
#[2258](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/issues/2258).
This PR adds a new course schedule feature to the al-folio theme,
allowing academics to easily create and display structured course
information.
**Changes:**
- Added a `courses` collection to organize and display academic courses
- Created course layout and display templates with responsive design
- Implemented organization by year and term with automatic sorting
- Added support for weekly schedule with topics and course materials
- Simplified documentation with a README for course creation
This feature makes it easier for academics to showcase their teaching
materials with a consistent, organized display of course schedules,
helping users create professional teaching pages without custom
implementation.

Adds a HAL button in the same spirit as the arXiv button.
- add HAL button to `_layouts/bib.liquid`
- add `hal` to the filtered keywords in `_config.yml`
- add `hal` to the documentation in `CUSTOMIZE.md`
## Description
This PR makes the URLs for external services used on the repository page
configurable in `_config.yml`. This allows users to self-host these
services for better reliability, privacy, and customization.
## Changes
- Added `external_services` configuration section in `_config.yml` with:
- `github_readme_stats_url` (default:
`https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app`)
- `github_profile_trophy_url` (default:
`https://github-profile-trophy.vercel.app`)
- Updated repository template files to use configurable URLs:
- `_includes/repository/repo_user.liquid`
- `_includes/repository/repo.liquid`
- `_includes/repository/repo_trophies.liquid`
- Added documentation in `CUSTOMIZE.md` explaining:
- Why self-hosting is recommended (default services may have
availability issues)
- How to configure custom service URLs
- Links to the service repositories for deployment instructions
## Resolves
Resolves#3388 - This makes it possible to configure self-hosted
versions of these services, giving users full control over the external
services used for displaying GitHub statistics and trophies.
## Testing
- Verified that default configuration still works with original service
URLs
- Confirmed that URLs are properly interpolated in all template files
- Documentation clearly explains the configuration options
Currently, the `site.giscus.theme` option is ignored because
`giscus.liquid` always computes the theme as light/dark based on the
current site theme. This PR allows users to configure separate light and
dark giscus themes in `_config.yml`, which will support dynamic updates
when switching between light, dark, or system themes.
Fixes#3269
Earlier there was a tag in the `_config.yml` file to exclude the posts
from the search results. I could no longer find that option and hence
modified the `search.liquid.js` file.
It basically checks if the `posts_in_search` tag is true or not.
Added support for multiple image galleries, and created a sample post
showing how to enable and use them.

If `download: true`, the site deployment fails.
This caused e.g. issue #2548.
I believe the issue appears because the 3rd party downloaded libs rely
on ES6 Syntax, which jekyll-minifier cannot work on correctly.
Also, I think we do not need to minify 3rd party downloaded libs at all.
While this PR does **not** fix the issue above, it at least ensures that
the site can be deployed with `download: true`. We still need better ES6
support as suggested in #2571.
[INSPIRE](http://inspirehep.net/) is a trusted community hub that
facilitates the sharing and discovery of accurate scholarly information
in high energy physics. By integrating the social and citation count
badge, al-folio users within this community will gain significant
benefits.
In continuation of #2634, I am creating this pull request.
## Details
### Social Icon
- Add your INSPIRE author ID in the `config.yml` under `inspirehep_id`.
### Citation Count
- Enable this feature by setting `inspirehep` to `true` under
`enable_publication_badges` in your `config.yml` file.
- In your bibliography file (e.g., `papers.bib`), add `inspirehep_id =
{the literature's recid}` under the citation of a literature source.
## The issue
Currently Altmetric and Dimension publication badge elements have
non-obvious attributes that hide badges when some conditions are not met
,e.g.:
```
data-hide-no-mentions="true"
data-hide-less-than="15"
```
resulting in seemingly strange behavior where badges are enabled in
`config.yml` but don't show up consistently, as reported in #2443 :
Altmetric badges don't display for some pubs.
## This PR
- removes these hidden nondisplay conditions in favor of more
predictable website behavior;
- adds documentation links to point users interested in customizing
badge behavior to the right resources.
This PR adds a simple filter/search functionality to the bibliography.
It can be used in two ways:
1. Simply enter a search term in the input box.
2. Send a search term via the `location.hash`, e.g.,
https://alshedivat.github.io/al-folio/publications/#mechanics
**Notes:**
- The search box is optional. It can be simply removed if anyone does
not like it.
- Searching via `hash` works without the search box. My idea is to use
this functionality to index all BibTeX entries via the `ctrl-k` search
and link them via their BibTeX key.
- Searching via `hash` could also be used to set static links on the
current page, e.g., to filter specific co-authors, venues, etc.
- I don't know much about the design of the input field. I simply reused
the newsletter box style.
- Entering a search term in the box does exact matching. No fuzzy
search, no AND/OR logic. I kept it very simple. Maybe anyone else wants
to improve it in the future.
- The search looks in all data in the BibTeX entry that is parsed via
`bib.liquid`. E.g., it is possible to search for BibTeX keys, titles,
authors, years, venues, abstracts, or whatever `bib.liquid` prints.
- I used a 300ms delay before starting to search on the input box.
- Entering search terms in the box does not update the location hash
(things could get complex otherwise due to automatically updating each
other...)
- If the filter does not find any match in a specific year, the year is
also made invisible.

Looking for feedback.
- updates `external-posts.rb` plugin, allowing the user to specify an
explicit lists of urls in `_config.yml` that are then displayed in the
blog feed as external posts

Fixes#2419 by downloading leaflet images. Also changed the path where
the libraries are downloaded to avoid not downloading files with same

As discussed in #1181, I suggest to make embedding videos an optional
feature.
This behavior aligns well with recently merged PR #2312.
Open questions:
1. I added a youtube link to `papers.bib`. Is this link okay?
2. I set `enable_video_embedding: false` as the default. I argue that
privacy settings should be the default. Also, the current implementation
of `video.liquid` only works for some very specific video URLs. For
example, to embed youtube, specialized links must be used to avoid
`X-Frame-Option` issues. This behavior can lead to a broken embedding,
which would not look very nice.
Feedback welcome.
I added further filds to `bib.liquid`.
A common field is `location`, which is now printed.
I added fields for `acceptance` and `acceptance_rate`. These fields
might be usefull for external people to better determine a vanue's
quality.
`acceptance` is used for the accepted vs submitted papers.
`acceptance_rate` is a percent-value.

The existence of two distinct variables stems from the fact that the
'acceptance_rate' is represented using the venue color. On my website, I
employ venue colors correlated with computer science conference
rankings, which naturally leads to associating the acceptance rate with
the same color scheme for coherence and better understanding.

Also, I added a CVE Score, which is mainly usefull for IT-Security
researchers, see this [example](https://christianmainka.de/cve/).

Let me know what you think about this proposal.
Created a plugin to tackle #1181. Currently have an issue with tikzjax
since it imports some wasm file from its javascript. The rest should
work as expected.

This PR adds an "award" button to publications.
It takes the `award` value from the bibtex entry and displays(incl.
Markdown rendering) the text in a box similarly to abstract and bibtex.
User can set the entry `award_name` to configure the value. See example
config with `award_name: Nobel Prize`.
The color of the award box can be configured in `_base.scss`.
Note, there is a similar PR #2175, it I saw to issues with:
1. There was no progress
2. The award button just prints the text directly in the button,
similarly to `award_name`. Long award names could clutter the webpage.
3. IMHO, it brokes the current al-folio design, since butons do have a
fixed size/text. However, variable prize names are also possible with
this PR.

This PR introduces an enhancement to the site's image-loading strategy
by implementing lazy loading as the default behavior for all images. The
motivation behind this change is to improve the site's load times.
**Changes:**
1. **Default Lazy Loading:** By `default`, all images will now have the
`loading="lazy"` attribute.
2. **Configurable Option in `_config.yml`:** Added a new configuration
option under `lazy_loading_images.enable`.
3. **Override Capability:** For `specific images` where the user doesn't
want lazy loading, they can `override` this by directly setting the
`loading attribute` in the `image tag`.
