Building a personal website using Quarto. Based on Quarto's own website.
Note, this is designed to work a local copy of
mathjax, stored in a
top-level directory /es5, so that math will render even offline.
There are some extra scripts required because of some missing Quarto features.
For example, backlinks are not supported, so it is required to independently
parse all internal links in all pages and construct .yml files with the
backlinks (stored in backlinks/) that get referred to in each file.
Furthermore, some content is shared amongst multiple files. This is handled via
include statements. One includes a .md file into possibly many .qmd files.
However, quarto preview does not update the .qmd file when the .md file
changes, so a fswatch process must be launched in order to touch the
relevant .qmd files.
The categories ⚪, 🔴, 🟠, 🟢, 🟣 are used to distinguish the various levels of
polish of notes. White being for stubs / to-dos, red being for very messy, etc.
- What perspective is a page being written from? E.g. in "Universals". I do not
want to maintain a wikipedia standard that every claim needs a citation, but
it's nice to know who is accountable for what is written:
- "X from the perspective of Y"?
- My own take on a particular source?
- My own synthesis of multiple sources?
- Solution for now:
- all personal commentary is relegated to the blog. These can be very short and just link the main article and add a paragraph.
- main note content has "According to ..." clauses when points that are
especially controversial are made. Implicitly everything is a bit biased
given that I'm writing it and have selected to read from certain sources.
If it makes sense I could put at the top of certain notes that it is from
the perspective of a particular source, though in that case perhaps it
should be in the
works/folder.
- How to organize the concepts/definitions?
- What even is a definition?
