AI assisted workflow with some baby sitting but, in my defense I'm not a web developer and just wanted something that works...

Since all my websites and web-tools use the phenomenal #SimpleCSS framework, I thought it would also make sense to create a theme for #ktistec using those exact colours. Of course, this is also available from my ktistec-tweaks, next to the old purpleish-theme, which I had before.

Also new is the separation of the card-style post theming, which is also shown in the screenshot below, in its own CSS file.

Simple.css is a classless CSS framework that makes semantic HTML look good, really quickly. By classless it means that there are no CSS classes anywhere in the CSS or the HTML. So your website can look just like this using plain old vanilla HTML.

I was too lazy to go to the computer in the other room tonight to tinker, or even grab my iPad on the table next to me, so I played with #trebedit on my phone to build a basic HTML homepage to replace my freelancer website.

Still a WIP but with a bit of #simplecss chucked on there it actually came together pretty quick.

Oh and of course it will be an #eleventy site eventually.

Getting close to being happy with how I organise the content for a module I have been entrusted with.

It is a #Git organised set of notes for a #flippedClassroom module.

All notes are written in #CommonMark (#OrgMode if it was just me ;-))

#Pandoc is at the heart of preparing the written notes.

+ Custom templates help satisfy local branding requirements
+ Pandoc features enable #moodle compatible HTML to be generated with #MathJax maths and embedded resources. (Moodle is just a carrier!)
+ Use #CSL to generate references

#Make enables targets to generate ALL THE TARGETS, ensuring correct pandoc options are used:

+ Standalone HTML for local use, with #SimpleCSS for styling
+ HTML optimised for Moodle;
+ LaTeX;
+ PDF (via LaTeX)
+ DOCX

Slides and assessment specs are still LaTeX.
