Wanting to turn #Markdown documents into #Gemtext in #Rogallo, I've released md2gemtext, a #Python library for converting from one to the other.

I guess the first obvious thing to do is to add a wee tool that converts the Rogallo ChangeLog into #Gemtext

#Rogallo v0.7.0 is available. This version makes link navigation even more keyboard-friendly (it was anyway, it's just more friendly now).

I've added keyboard/numeric-based quick jumping to links in #Gemtext documents to #Rogallo. I want the labels on the right, but there are times when it's not so easy to see which link matches which label, if there are lots of links next to each other.

So I've also added the ability to toggle a striped view of links.

The #Gemini client for the #terminal now has history support, so going backwards/forwards is a thing. Also did some tweaking and tidying of the visuals of how a page is presented. At this point I feel like I have the very basics in place.

On last year's annual Gemini Protocol blog announcement thing, Solderpunk says

I continue to receive, and to apply, patches to the geminiprotocol.net repository correcting errors in the official documentation or adding translations of into diverse languages

Fun fact: The gemtext markup language does not officially have "comments," but there IS a way to embed messages in the source that aren't rendered.

Any line which starts with three backwards apostrophes swaps between preformatted mode and normal mode.

When entering preformatted mode, any text which comes after the backwards apostrophes is the alt-text for the preformatted block.

On the other hand, when exiting preformatted mode, the spec says

Any text following the leading "```" of a preformat toggle line MUST be ignored by clients.

Hello fedi,

I am still interested in trying to make tables in geminispace that are accessible to blind users.

The trouble is that gemini's native markup format, gemtext, does not have tables.

Gemtext does have preformatted text blocks, so I tried making tables by manually lining up text.

Header    Also a header
Thing     A thing
Another   thing

#Markdown has horrible edge cases and despite the valiant effort of #CommonMark, the dialects seem to diverge and multiply over time. I consider switching my personal stuff to #djot where possible: https://djot.net/

Ideas:
- Stop working on #smu https://github.com/karlb/smu and maintain either https://github.com/karlb/cdjot or https://github.com/karlb/minipandoc instead
- Use https://github.com/karlb/gemtext.lua to generate #gemtext (for #geminiprotocol instead of the unmaintained https://github.com/karlb/md2gemini

Thoughts?

I completely rewrote my gemtext_to_html converter from scratch, it was great!

I use it a lot for myself, but it should work for others too. If you need a program like that, you can have a look. It only needs a C compiler, no dependency.

The code is here. There is some doc and the code itself should be quite readable.

Hugo is becoming my favorite static site generator.

It really only took a few minutes to make it generate pages in the Gemini hypertext format (“gemtext”). Now you can read my blog in a wonderfully obscure way on the other, lesser known Internet:

I've added a #PlainText exporter to my bespoke #StaticSiteGenerator.

Most pages on my site now have .txt counterparts, which for now you can access by appending the extension to the URL directly, e.g. https://balintmagyar.com/colophon.txt

I'd like to look into hosting #GeminiProtocol and/or #Gopher mirrors of my site at some point, and this felt like a logical step towards that. Shout out to @fab for the inspiration!

Auf dem @luki Treffen hat @emk #Lowmark vorgestellt: Einen #PHP-#StaticSiteGenerator mit dem Ziel, ihn so einfach wie möglich zu machen.

Einen schönes, pädagogisches #LowTech #SmallWeb Ziel.

Passt zum #Gemini Protocol, bei dem das Designziel ist, dass es jeder (der eine Programmiersprache kann) in ein paar Dutzend Zeilen implementieren kann. Deswegen ist #Gemtext sogar noch einfacher als #Markdown.
