It took me longer to summarize how I added search to my blog using Pagefind than it did to add search to my blog using Pagefind: https://baty.net/2022/searching-this-site-using-pagefind/

I am in the process of writing a long, elaborate and well argumented (and documented) blogpiece. Still, it might cause a shitstorm. I am a bit anxious about publishing it.

What would your advice be?

loving the fact that i can learn #Emacs #OrgMode as I keep using it. Nearly everything I can think of is already solved and documented someplace.

Today, I needed numbered headlines in #OrgMode … and guess what?
There are numbered headlines!

I got a suggestion in the Hugo Discourse that I break this down to just the four steps I described (thus making it even easier for new users), so I’ve now issued a follow-up that does exactly that:

This much power for String interpolation should be a crime (:

#nimlang is even fun just learning about it, let alone programming in it.

My first #emacs plugin finally landed on Melpa 🎉

Time to properly announce it :)

So, for #jekyll #hugo #eleventy #gatsby or other #ssg users who use some kind of shortcode/includes/autofill or whatever in your articles.

If you were to switch, how would you handle those elements that won't work anymore in whatever new platform you are switching to?

If you have other ideas, please share!

[New version] Denote 0.1.0 is available since 2022-06-27!
This tool written by the famous Protesilaos Stavrou (aka Prot) for "simple note-taking" + based on text #format + with "basic linking facility" + with "predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme" + in #Emacs + with many improvements is at: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-06-27-denote-0-1-0/
Good reading, good using and good emacsing!

Help wanted:

I need to rename this Emacs package before releasing it on Melpa:

https://github.com/NinjaTrappeur/h.el

The package goal is to organize git repositories in a single directory by a command allowing you to jump between git repos and clone new repositories from remote forges.

I’d like to find a descriptive name involving a terrible pun. The lamest, the better.

Do you have any fun ideas? (the pun will be properly credited if used of course!)
