This repository contains the code for generating the Shuangrimu website. It is an entirely static site built using Hakyll.
The easiest way to get this site up and built is by using Nix. If you have Nix
already installed, you can simply do nix-shell . within the top-level of this
project. This will pull down all the necesssary packages to get this running,
including GHC.
Alternatively if you don't want to use Nix, you can build this with your own GHC and Cabal.
By default there is a development server
Because this site is built using Hakyll, it's essentially a custom-built compiler that compiles a bunch of blog posts written in Markdown or whatever other input language Pandoc accepts and converts it out to HTML with custom styling along the way.
Running site.lhs will generate a bunch of HTML, CSS, and Javascript output in
the _site folder. This can then be served up by your choice of webserver.
In my particular case I configure the web server to serve pages with the .html
suffix as optional (with a redirect as necessary). That is of course a decision
that is entirely up to you.
Any new post is a markdown file that goes in the posts directory. I also have
a drafts directory for drafts I'm not quite ready to publish yet, but that's
purely a convention (since any folder that is not posts gets ignored, I could
have used another name such as notposts).
For some reason Hakyll isn't able to match on files with a period as the first character. See jaspervdj/hakyll#560.
