Toot

Written by Artyom Bologov (t?he(y|m)?) on 2024-12-26 at 19:36

I'm at the point when I either stay with my old blog setup with ugly C Preprocessor conventions; or have to rewrite all my 50 posts in the new-ish pidgin HTML dialect (find the script processing it into plain HTML at https://aartaka.me/scripts/tohtml.ed.) The metadata parts, at least: I'll retain most of the CPP-related code, but the metadata needs a whole new approach!

I guess, I'll leave this blog refactoring (can you imagine anyone saying it?) for the holiday days. Luckily, I have only one day left before I spiral into this New Year madness! (They say that the way you start new year is the way you'll spend it. The year is bound to be fun.)

@aartaka if your old setup follows some form of syntax that can be parsed by your current system, would it be less work to write a script or elaborate regex to convert from the old to new format, than to manually rewrite?

@voxel that's true, and my current script mostly does that already. But there are things that it won't be able to handle properly, and that need a cleanup anyway.
