lightning talk: bending markdown to your will with your static site generator
TRANSCRIPT
Limitations• Can't include partial content. All or nothing (except front
matter).
• Requires duplicate empty "placeholder" files to insert content into.
• Standard issues with "single source" models (see, e.g., http://idratherbewriting.com/2016/02/11/the-problem-with-single-source-publishing/)
• Working around some of these though
Wins• Provides a flexible framework for future product versions
• Allows us to continue to write only (mostly) markdown for the content (no code needed for includes)
