http://crn.hopto.org readme file

This site was born out of me sitting up a single page written in HTML to provide my students links related to classes I use to teach. I found it very handy to have most of my links available at any computer I sat at, so I started to use it for my primary β€œstart page”.

HTML got a little old quick, and as I just hang in vim most of the time, I decided to try markdown. So that is how it all got started. The links page is still the place all my browsers default to. That is the bookmarks I use and that is why it looks the way it does.


With all that said, to edit a page like Unix:

$ site -m unix   # edits the unix.md file

When I do a save, it then takes Pandoc with all the set options and converts it to HTML.

After that a new /unix/index.html by cat with the header:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>CRN / Unix</title>
<meta name="description" content="Linux and Unix scripts, history, and fun. Come in and enjoy the prompt, again." />
<meta name="author" content="Mitchell Johnston">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<body>

</ul>

<div class="content">

Add the content I did and then next the footer.html

<!-- FOOTER -->
<p id="footer">Stewarded by: <a href="mailto:mitch@crn.hopto.org">Mitch Johnston</a> <a href="gopher://crn.hopto.org" title="Gopher client needed">Gopher</a><br>

</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

It then overwrites the current one after it backs it up with version control.


So that is about it. Nothing special, just a little site I use for the site.
