Hua Paging Support

By William Jeffrey Rankin, Tue Mar 26 2024

Revision 99 of Hua supports paging. The number of entries appearing on the index page(s) is controlled using the entries_pp variable in the config file. Index file(s) are named using the index_file config variable, as before. Pages following the first are named *-2.html, *-3.html, etc.

I'm considering implementing this for the tagged-with files as well.

    Hua Meta-information Support

    By William Jeffrey Rankin, Sun Feb 11 2024

    As of revision 63, released on Feb 10, 2024, Hua (my PowerShell-based static content generator) supports meta-information (description, keywords, and author) for individual articles. Meta information is maintained in a separate delimited file. Meta-info isn't required (but is certainly desirable) and Hua will provide defaults (the 000000 record in the meta database) if an individual article isn't represented in the file.

    Initially, I considered simply using article tags for keywords. But I believe keywords to be finer-grained than tags and should therefore be separated. There will be, no doubt, some common entries in both lists.

        Hua Enhancements

        By William Jeffrey Rankin, Tue Dec 26 2023

        I've made some enhancements to Hua, my PowerShell based static content generator, over the past few days. Formerly, all tagged-with-* files, as well as index and archive files were regenerated every time Hua was run. Now, Hua runs a comparison to determine if the files have actually changed, and replaces them accordingly. In this way, files that haven't really changed are not reuploaded to a remote server by tools that rely simply on date as change criteria (among other use cases).

            Integrating Hua's Markdown Support

            By William Jeffrey Rankin, Thu Nov 10 2022

            Hua, my PowerShell based static content generator, now supports Markdown. I wanted to integrate and test it on an actual blog. This page is coded in Markdown.

            Integration with my existing blog was simple. All that was required was to modify the md-template.html file in Hua's markdown directory to contain the appropriate HTML structures, and voila!
