Static Site Generator about vimwiki_markdown HOT 3 CLOSED

@patrickdavey I'm interested in your thoughts considering the vast amount of static generators today. Would you rather have a filewatching static website generator e.g. Hugo these days instead of using vimwikis export2html at all? Looking forward to learn from your experience

Hi @RidaAyed , great question. As you can see, I've pretty much done nothing about this one since 2015 ;) . I had a quick look at hugo, it does look nice. I'd also not seen the isso commenting system. Quite tempted to play around with it now, as I really don't like the idea of using disqus at all.

Hugo does sound good. It'd be a question of ensuring it can convert the [[wiki]] style links correctly, which I assume could be added in somehow. There are a few directives you can pass in %title etc. which hugo would need to understand too.

I guess it comes down to: do you want to use this gem and configure that, or, install hugo and tweak it until it works. I suspect hugo is the nicer solution overall, but, it's probably more work to get it setup.

If you do take the time to write up how to configure hugo to work with vimwiki, I'd be totally happy to put up a link etc.

No, this isn't a static site generator (well, any more than it is already)
