My homepage with org-mode
Introduction
This setup based on org-mode and heavily based on ideas from https://github.com/dmacvicar/site.org.
Implementation
For details about the implementation see the Github Source.
Usage
- Posts go into
posts/
Preferably in their own subdirectory together with all their assets (self-contained)
To generate:
$ make
The output site will be rendered in public/
.
RSS Feeds
This part is complicated and easy to forget how it works everytime something breaks.
- Each export block in the project translates the full site, file by file, to another format (taking into account excludes, includes)
- Sitemaps allow to generate a map of all converted files in a single org file. Eg. a sitemap in posts, will generate an org file with a list of links to all posts. This is particularly useful for the rss exporter.
- We have an export entry in the project that goes over _posts/, takes a dummy export function, but generates a sitemap. This allows us to end with a rss.org file without really exporting anything.
- Then we use another entry in the project, that uses the RSS exporter, including only rss.org in order to generate rss.xml
-
Now, the default sitemap function generates something like:
* Entries - [[One entry][http://link]] - [[Second entry][http://link]]
Those will not be exported correctly to a list of links. Only the headline will be exported in the RSS file.
* [[One entry][http://link]] * [[Second entry][http://link]]
-
By default, the link will reference the file where the link appears. Something like
<link>http://rss.org#section</link>
To change this we use org-rss-use-entry-url-as-guid and set the RSS_PERMALINK property of the headline when generating the sitemap. The RSS exporter will then use the property for the <link> tag content.
- The custom entry formatter adds a headline to a temp buffer and then uses org-set-property to set the custom properties.
- The sitemap function uses org-list-to-generic to create a list of headlines without adding a star, as it will be added by the entry function.
Features
Drafts
To hide a post from the list of recent posts or the full archive, use:
#+DRAFT t
Note that the post will still be published, but you will need to access it by its URL directly.
