the source for my personal site, written in Haskell, powered by Hakyll

This is the source for my personal site.

The Hakyll site's source (the Haskell code in src/) is BSD licensed as stated in the cabal file.

Feel free to use everything else in provider/, but if you can help it please don't use the site's style (in provider/scss) and instead use your own, or at the very least differentiate the style as much as you can. I created this style for this personal site, so I'd prefer that it remains unique!

If you use vim, I highly recommend the vim-pandoc-syntax plugin for better Pandoc-flavored markdown editing, complete with codeblock highlighting and concealments.

Features:

• "live" editing; see changes as you save them, in-place (Haskell STM Channels -> HTML5 WebSockets)
• fully integrated with MathJax using $ inline and $$ block delimiters
• nice urls, e.g. .com/posts/some-post and .com/some-page, no trailing 'index.html'
• easy page and post creation (place in posts/ or pages/)
• default index page groups posts chronologically by year, where first group (for current year) doesn't show year heading
  • post excerpts in index pages with metadata excerpt: some excerpt
• notes system, pretty much same as regular posts but with /notes/ path and no tags
• custom deploy script for github pages setup, ./site deploy
  • src/deploy.sh setup for initial configuration
• drafts system for posts, pages, notes --- stored in drafts/
  • ./site watch and ./site preview will include drafts/ items in generated site
  • everything else, such as ./site deploy, assumes non-drafts
  • ./site clean preview cleans generated "preview site," including drafts
• tags support with pretty and "slugified" versions of tags
  • i.e. in metadata specified as "Linux", shows up this way in posts, but tag page is /tags/linux/
• scss consolidation, e.g. edit any one scss file, all of them get re-merged into single scss file
• abbreviation support, defined as *[GHC]: Glasgow Haskell Compiler
• table of contents generation with pretty section numbers
  • can left-align with metadata toc: left (right is default)
  • can turn off toc completely with toc: off
  • section renaming: # Some Header {toc="show this way in toc"}
  • section ignoring (don't include in toc and don't number): # Some Header {.notoc}
  • table of contents section numbering with pure CSS
  • header section numbering with pure CSS
• pygments highlighting of codeblocks

  • UTF-8

  • very fast, server-backed implementation

  • produces simple, clean, and semantically correct markup

      <pre><code class="highlight language-haskell">the code</code></pre>
    

  • uses first class for language specification, {.haskell}, or optional {lang=haskell} keyvar, or alternative backtick codeblock syntax:

      ``` haskell
      putStrLn "Hey"
      ```
    

  • optional caption with text="some caption" keyvar

• correctly ignores the file "4913" that vim creates on Windows to test if the directory is writeable
• blockquotes with pretty borders
• atom feed generation
• disqus comments on by default, can turn off with metadata comments: off
  • only loads the JS when comments are on
• github history integration
  • show the commit that most recently altered a given post in its footer, as well as a link to its overall history on github
