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

NOTE: you will of course need to update basement.order each time you add a document to the source.

documents

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

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

metadata

every markdown document includes yaml frontmatter metadata

fields:

  • title (string): title of the document. mostly for rss item id
  • created (date): date of creation. probably needs to be in date -R format.
  • updated (date): date of most recent update. mostly of rss. probably needs to be in date -R format.
  • public (bool)1: spoiler-free content
  • syndicated (bool)1: should this document be included in the rss feed?

example:

---
title: notes
created: 2022-07-24
updated: 2022-07-25
public: yes
syndicated: yes
---

  1. These are not true booleans. Pandoc templates cannot evaluate the value of a field. Only its presence. This could say public: astronauts or syndicated: spaghetti. You can only set these flags on and off by including or omitting the field entirely. This is probably not the way you would expect it to work, so watch out. ↩︎
