say why are you building yet another static site generator?

everyone

This is my blog. It's gone through yet another refactor, whittling it down to its barest essence. This involves removing most executable code and reverting to the bedrock foundation of hypertext documents, pandoc.

I've leaned heavily on tufte-pandoc-css, fixing the makefile and making sure that all the produced html was self-contained via pandoc.

Other than that, it's just a makefile all the way down.

• tufte-css provides a simple, concise layout
• tufte-pandoc-css adds flexible sidenotes and markdown ease-of-use
• pandoc integrates all the css and renders static bundled HTML

Pandoc metadata provides the wiring for article and other post data, e.g.

---
title: A Sample Title
subtitle: Sampling it
date: 2019 Aug 13
author: Max A
---

brew install pandoc \
    jez/formulae/pandoc-sidenote \
    fswatch

make will rm and then create HTML files in the docs folder, ready for serving by GH pages. Check out the makefile for more details.

If you want to see the resulting changes as you work, run ./watch_make.sh.
