Local JS/CSS with Hugo Pipe

2023-01-19

I recently stumbled across a post that reminded me that Hugo has pipes. You can use them to automatically download files and include them as local. This seems like a pretty good idea for JS/CSS (you can argue caching versus security/locality all you want), but I’m going to give it a try.

Crosslinks by Title in Hugo

2021-07-15

Another quick Hugo post. One thing I miss about my previous blogging platform(s) was the ability to generate quick links between posts just by using the title of the post. So rather than this:

a cool post

This is [a cool post]({{< ref "2021-07-15-crosslinks-by-title-in-hugo" >}}), go read it.

You could do this:

This is {{< crosslink title="Crosslinks by Title in Hugo" text="a cool post" >}}.

Or shorter: {{< crosslink "Crosslinks by Title in Hugo" >}}.

And it should just work.

A Tabbed View for Hugo

2021-01-27

One thing I’ve been using for a lot of my recent posts (such as Backtracking Worms) is a tabbed view of code that can show arbitrarily tabs full of code or other content and render them wonderfully! For example, we can turn: {{</*tabs*/>}} {{</*sourcetab ruby "examples/art-station.rune"*/>}} {{</*tab "art-station.svg"*/>}} {{</*include "output/art-station.svg"*/>}} {{</*/tab*/>}} {{</*sourcetab ruby "examples/astrology-and-moons.rune"*/>}} {{</*tab "astrology-and-moons.svg"*/>}} {{</*include "output/astrology-and-moons.svg"*/>}} {{</*/tab*/>}} {{</*sourcetab ruby "examples/text-circle.rune"*/>}} {{</*tab "text-circle.svg"*/>}} {{</*include "output/text-circle.svg"*/>}} {{</*/tab*/>}} {{</*/tabs*/>}} Into the tabbed example view at the end of yesterday’s post!

Migrating to Hugo

2017-12-10

A long time ago¹, in a galaxy far, far away², I moved my blog from WordPress to a custom written static blog generator in Racket. And for a while, all was well.
