Writing with coppice

A post is a markdown file in content/posts/, and its file name is its address: this one is content/posts/writing.md, published at /posts/writing/. It's an example, to read and delete; writing in the docs has the syntax for everything here, and the tour shows all of it at once.

The top of the file

Every post starts with its front matter, a few lines between --- lines:

---
title: Writing with coppice
description: A line under the title, also for search engines and the feed.
date: 11-08-2024
---

The date is day, month and year. A post dated after today waits until a build on or after that day, and one with draft: true waits until you take the line out.

Asides

An aside that would interrupt the argument goes in the margin instead, as in Edward Tufte's books.Like this one: {sn|…</span> in the text, a number here, and the note beside its line on a wide screen.} On a phone, the number opens it under the line.

Code

Fenced code is highlighted when the site is built, and copied with the button that appears when it's pointed at:

fmt.Println("hello")

The rest, from pictures and galleries to mathematics, is in the docs.
