BASEMENT QUEST

the kids in the basement are gonna play some rpg in on the listserv

about

this is an iteration on my usual pandoc static site generator

order

instead of relying on literally naming files 0001-me-first.md and 0002-me-second.md so they are concatenated in the correct order, this repo introduces basement.order

in the file, you can ls ./**/** to list all files, and then order them in the way that is most pleasing to you

documents

documents are markdown with yaml frontmatter. they are compiled into:

• html with spoilers for game ref
• 'safemode' html sans spoilers for players
• rss feed for syndicated documents

metadata

every markdown document includes yaml frontmatter metadata

fields:

for now, treat every field as required

• title (string): title of the document. mostly for rss item id
• created (date): date of creation
• updated (date): date of most recent update. mostly of rss
• spoilers (bool): spoilers are not included in 'safemode' (default) export. they are included in 'gm' view.
• syndicated (bool): should this document be included in the rss feed?

example:

---
title: notes
created: 2022-07-24
updated: 2022-07-25
spoilers: yes
syndicated: no
---

TODO

• change all this from lua to pandoc? see garden for pandoc template example
• metadata (titles, dates) getting truncated
• write all content to spoilers.html
• write spoilers: no to safemode. i.e. basementquest.html, or index.html
• write syndicated: yes to rss (include updated in meta data?)
