This is the git repo for my website.
The files for individual pages are in the markdown directory.
The main site generator makefile is based on pdsite.
There are three additional scripts I wrote for various tasks.
- makeindex.sh: creates the index of pages which are seen by clicking on the navbar header.
- makeyaml.sh: creates the yaml metadata used by pandoc for the conversion.
- assets/makesmall.sh creates a 640x480 version of every image in assets using imagemagick. The actual pixel size is determined by the aspect ratio of the image.
- lighty.lua is a pandoc filter which automatically applies to all images in the markdown documents; it does the following:
- finds all images in the markdown document
- substitutes the image (in pandoc AST) for a raw html string
The lighty.lua filter is a useful way to make images workable from markdown. If you put any images in the markdown document, then they will be displayed on your site with 1337box. Basically, when the image is clicked it will take up the whole screen until clicked again (simulating lightbox). If there is another image in the same directory as the linked image, with the suffix '_orig' then that image is displayed when the image is clicked. For example, if you have myphoto.png and myphoto_orig.png and you link  then the user will see myphoto.png until they click, at which point myphoto_orig.png will fill the screen.
