Another simple test.

=> spartan://jdcard.tilde.team My pages via Spartan => gemini://tilde.team/jdcard My pages via Gemini

Here is a code sample. It should be displayed in a mono-spaced font without collapsing white-space. code BASIC 10 REM Hello World 20 PRINT "Hello World!"; 30 END

Level 2 heading

Some text.

Some more text.

Level 3 heading

Text again

This is something somebody else said.

We need a list

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

That pretty much covers the what we need for Gemtext.

===

Done.

Just Another Test

I'm fiddling with the stylesheet so I need to have various kinds of content included here to make sure I don't have unexpected surprises later.

Gemtext

Normal content looks like this. Words collected into sentences, which are then aggregated to form paragrphs.

Somebody else said something important.

It was so important it took two paragraphs to cover all the details.

+-----------+---------+---------+
| 1.1       | 1.2     | 1.3     |
+===========+=========+=========+
| 2.1       | 2.2     | 2.3     |
+-----------+---------+---------+
| 3.1       | 3.2     | 3.3     |
+-----------+---------+---------+
| 4.1       | 4.2     | 4.3     |
+-----------+---------+---------+
| 5.1       | 5.2     | 5.3     |
+-----------+---------+---------+

H3 level heading

10 REM This is my first BASIC program.
20 PRINT "Hello world!"
30 END

Here is a link to => spartan://jdcard.tilde.team my Spartan page.

We might also encounter a list:

• apples
• pears
• oranges
• bananas

HTML

Since I'm switching my work to Spartan why would I care what happens here?

Term

Definition 1

Definition 2

Terminator

Defined here

Apparently the "---------" marker I left here was translated to a horizontal rule level one header.

There should be a horizontal rule directly below this line, and

there should be a horizontal rule (the same one) directly above this line.

Apparently the "==========" marker I left here was translated to a horizontal rule. And where are these H1 headers coming from? I certainly did not ask for them!

OK, that's probably enough nonsense for now.

Conclusion

Markdown is very annoying! Gemtext is elegantly simple, but doesn't actually work here except where it matches markdown. If I need something more than Gemtext offers I'll certainly NOT choose markdown since I learned HTML well before markdown in it various inconsistent flavors became available.

Output to HTML and gopher is useful, but I really want Gemtext to be the primary output.

This may be my last "feel" or blog entry or whatever using the TTBP tool.

A Simple Test

Here is a test to see if I can do anything useful with ttbp.

I am hoping I can symlink this to me public_spartan directory and build a Spartan blog.

I suppose I should finish this post and see what happens to it.

Hmmm... one entry per day, with no automatic timestamp. Ummm... okay, I guess.

OK, I edited the config/header.txt so adding more text here and saving it should force a rebuild.
