there is that old blog post to get a list of categories and tags from the content.
I only found tag_cloud as the only plugin dealing with tags no further mention in the documentation
Is there any way to limit the usable tags e.g. through the configs ?
One option is you can define a ALLOWED_TAGS
variable in pelicanconf.py
to contain the tags that you want to allow, then in places where tags are placed you can add a JINJA if
block to allow only these tags
#pelicanconf.py
...
ALLOWED TAGS = ("tag1", "tag2", "tag3", tag4")
Example of generating tags for an article below
<div class="article-tags">
{% for tag in article.tags %}
{% if tag in ALLOWED_TAGS %}
<a href="/tags/{{tag}}"><{{tag}}</span></a>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
