The favicons for this site were generated from this icon over at icon-icons.com using Real FavIcon Generator. A local copy of the SVG is here:

I used LunaPic’s in-browswer circle-crop tool to make the circle-cropped headshot photo.

Generally, I like to shrink photos to 800x800 using: convert -quality 80 -geometry 800x800 image.jpg image-small.jpg

To get KaTeX to do both inline and display equations, I modified ./layout/partials/katex.md according to Kevin Cazelle’s suggestions here: https://kevcaz.github.io/notes/hugo/katex_and_goldmark/.

And now math looks like this: Inline: $\pi$ Display style: $$\int x\ dx = \frac{1}{2}x^2 + C$$

The website is compiled by Hugo locally, and I use rsync to put it on the server.

rsync -avz /home/pgadey/Hugo/pgadey/ cloudbox:/home/pgadey/public_html

Archive #

The archive is setup using:

 content/archive.md 
 themes/accessible-minimalism/layouts/partials/archive.html

Shortcodes #

Hugo supports the ability to add shortcodes, or macros, to do all sorts of things. I’ve added a couple shortcodes, but I always seem to forget how they work. And so, I’m putting some reminders to myself here.

The shortcode static makes accessing static resources easier.

  {{< static "share/some-document.pdf" >}}

  ![foo]({{< static "img/foo.png" >}})

The shortcode private allows me to put material here which is shown locally via hugo server but doesn’t get published.

 {{< private >}}

 	This material is private.

 {{< /private >}}

The shortcode gobble just consumes whatever it is given. It is occassionally helpful for keeping post-level to-do lists which are only visible while editing the original source of a post.

{{< gobble >}}

    This vanishes!

{{< /gobble >}}

Gather and Dump #

This website supports a simple form of transclusion which allows me to gather snippets from multiple places and dump them in one spot. For example, the bookmarks page is populated with material wrapped in the following.

 {{< gather dest="bookmarks" >}}
 
 	Links to things!
 
 {{< /gather >}}

All that material gets dumped on the bookmarks page using:

 {{< dump source="bookmarks" >}}

The gather and dump mechanism was introduced here Week Notes 15.
