#Jekyll with the #AsciiDoctor plugin looks pretty decent as an option (the plugin is also well-integrated), but Jekyll seems to be a bit restrictive on the site structure, and anybody who has perused my website

https://wok.oblomov.eu/

probably knows by now that aside from the crappy CSS it also fully leverages the power of #ikiwiki's inline directive for nested awesomeness*.

*debatable

So hm should I rewrite Ikiwiki in #Ruby?

I'm going to have to write my own #AsciiDoctor-based static site generator, right?

I still haven't found anything that fits my use case, coming from #ikiwiki, which I want to leave because it's slow, written in Perl (not my favorite language) and doesn't integrate well with AsciiDoctor.

#Antora manages to both be overengineered for my use case *and* miss essential features like feed generation. Also node.js, no thanks

#SSG

We’ve got fresh mirrors of…

- qmail.org
- netqmail.org
- lifewithqmail.org (history reconstituted from RCS via CVS)

All in #Git, mirrored to GitHub, managed by #ikiwiki.

Happy May Day!

Presenting Taotech: https://taote.ch/ which I am working to establish as a not-for-profit: "Tending spaces where life happens so solidarity can emerge."

The website is also a Git repo, the software is a combo of #ikiwiki and #Forgejo.

Taotech aspires to be a spiritual successor to TAO communications and London Commons that will tend spaces both physical and online.

From my recent conversation with @trwnh (<https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/113377796235320764>) I'm getting the impression that if I managed to create a well-integrated #AsciiDoctor-centered blogging system to replace my #Ikiwiki setup I wouldn't be the only one using it. And I don't even mind #Ruby as a programming language. Now if I only had a few extra 24 hours in the day, I could even get to it.
I just realized that I need a better way to manage tag case in my #ikiwiki setup (unless I move to something different first).
I'm trying to study how #Hugo works to see if it's a good candidate for switching over from #IkiWiki, and the first thing I learn from the quick start guide is that #PowerShell and #WindowsPowerShell are different applications. Way to go, #Microsoft.

Some technical notes on trying to bring #IkiWiki to the modern web, kicking and screaming.

Figured figures

Bringing “semantic” figures to IkiWiki and the Wok

wok

I've finally made a template in my #ikiwiki‍-based website to wrap images in a proper, “semantic” #HTML5 #figure element without having to write too much raw #HTML. I'm now going over all the existing img directives to convert them. The template is designed to be mostly compatible with the img directive to lessen my work, but I'm taking advantage of the review to redo most of my al texts so make them more descriptive and meaningful.

It's a lot of work, but nobody is going to do it for me.

Si otra vez , no se si atraigo los bugs o que pero también #WordPress tiene bugs no puedo actualizar, ni actualizar temas y me ha arrinconado a #IkiWiki .

Y es...
