Montaigne

This is a prototype.

Montaigne is a document system developed for keeping personal journals and wikis.

It comes with document format, format parser and CLI tool to generate web site from the markdown documents.

TODO

• support for places type??
• document evaluation order
• support for fully dynamic pages # tags/{tag}
• define cli commands
• parse should only parse, eval should eval code blocks
• move from collection/entity to entity/children. Collections are basically just entities with few more predefined props
• when we parse people, places and tags we need to store them as top level index with arrays of pathes to sources. Actually we only need it for places in order to batch them
• make executable
• validate that collection/entity names are globally unique. Render pages without namespacing

Ideas

• rename template props to html
• color coded logs
• collect all errors and print at the end
• support for reference types &Name( or maybe &Name or maybe Some Name)
• we can allow users to define validate functions that will be called on parse. Like validate that end date is bigger than start.
• pass args so all hardcoded string can be customized
• multiple files support
• markdown inside multiline attributes might also have code that we can evaulate.
• define ttr function, number of characters function, number of words function into core
• verify that function defined in the data section can be used below for evaluating custom things
• see if https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Left can be customized with better support for Montaigne documents

Dev

Run locally:

    clj -m cljs.main --repl-env node -m montaigne.parser PATH_TO_FILE

or

    clj scripts/repl.clj
    
    (require 'montaigne.parser)
    (montaigne.parser/parse "$PATH_TO_FILE")

Compile

    clj -m cljs.main -t node -O simple -o main.js -c montaigne.parser

and run node main.js
