Outdated: Now I'm using Zola and simply editing raw markdown files.
I've recently fallen into a very deep Emacs-filled rabbit hole. It
started with the goal of cleaning up my Emacs init.el file, but
expanded to learning more Emacs Lisp and trying to get more out of
Org-mode. Now I'm typing this post in Org-mode with a new toy:
ox-hugo. This Emacs package makes it easy to create blog posts
from a single Org-file by seamlessly exporting second level
headlines to Hugo's Markdown syntax.
Setting up ox-hugo was incredibly easy. With MELPA already
configured, the only required addition to my init file was this:
(use-package ox-hugo
:ensure t
:after ox)
Now, in the buffer I'm currently editing, I use the key-binding
C-c C-e H H to export a ready-to-go markdown file for Hugo to
parse.
Luckily before I fell down the ox-hugo rabbit hole my Emacs
configuration was already cleaned up to my liking, hopefully it
stays that way for a while. It can be found right here (it's also
written in Org-mode, with the Emacs Lisp blocks loaded via
org-babel-load-file).
