Sitemaps are an easy way to list all pages that a search engine should crawl and index. Quarto supports the standard, XML based Sitemap Protocol, although that fact is a bit hidden in the docs. Quarto will automatically produce a sitemap if the website’s URL is given as site-url property: website: title: tarleb site-url: 'https://tarleb.com' site-path: '/' The URL will contain a colon :, which is why the YAML value must be put in quotes.

These are the resources that I’d want to have if I was to learn about pandoc (the universal document converter) all over again: Installing latest release The GitHub release page has installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Docker images There are three types of pandoc Docker images: minimal – very small, just the bare pandoc binary; core – includes pandoc-crossref and helpers programs, e.g. those used by pandoc for SVG image conversion;

Quarto makes it very easy to publish a website via GitHub Pages: It is as simple as running quarto publish gh-pages. Here we explore a slightly different method that uses a GitHub Action to publish the website automatically every time it is updated. Classic GitHub Pages The classic way to publish a website via GitHub pages is to maintain a separate branch gh-pages.

Santa sighted deeply as worry and uncertainty gave way, leaving a feeling of relieve and accomplishment. The year was one of the worst he’d seen so far. Large numbers of his helpers were moving from the North Pole to Antarctica to satisfy their ambient temperature preferences. There would be many telecommuting Elves this year, and each helper enjoyed additional autonomy. Tying everything together was a challenge.

A question came up on the Lua mailing list, asking whether there was a PDF version of the Lua manual. This is, of course, the home domain of pandoc, and I got nerd-sniped into producing a PDF (and ePUB) version of the manual. This is a good opportunity to showcase some pandoc features. The post describes the process of going from an HTML web page to a PDF file via LaTeX and pandoc. We will see how to quickly convert documents with pandoc;

My first exposure to Lua has been as a pandoc user, and adding new Lua features to pandoc turned Lua into one of my favorite languages. In this post I will take a look at pandoc, the universal document converter, and explore how one can script and extend it with Lua. Pandoc includes a Lua interpreter since 2012, but the integration of Lua has been expanded significantly with the latest 2.0 release.

Last night was the night of this year’s MetaNook. It was the fourth time that the local hackers, most notably MetaMeute and Chaotikum, joined forces to organize a night full of beginner-friendly introductions, advanced tech talks, and project presentations. My talk contribution this year was a brief introduction in the “magic” of the command-line.

The zeitkraut server is configured to work with IPv6. For quite some time now, I’ve been seeing some strange errors in my log files.
