Re: Simple and secure blogging software for nginx
I am a long-time user of Debian, Emacs, and LaTeX. I began blogging
with version 1.0 of WordPress, but soon I grew weary of the constant
need to upgrade. Over the years I have tried many (if not most) of
the blogging engines, hoping to find a static engine which could read
LaTeX markup. I even tried Blosxom; it was better than many.
But not until this year "habe ich Nirvana erreichtet." (Forgive my
poor deutsch; I am attempting to quote Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha.")
The key is that I am using "make4ht" to invoke "text4ht".
This allows me to compose in LaTeX and provides me with a set of .html
files (and even a .css file) which I upload to a hosting service. One
hosting service I use runs Apache; the other runs Nginx. Both work.
In LaTeX, I use "report.cls" for the blog; each blog posting is a
chapter. The postings are listed in a table of contents. Adding a
new post involves a run of my script "make.blog":
make4ht -c config.cfg -d blog-url blog-url.tex
Life is too short to mess around with a markup language other than
LaTeX. Work always in LaTeX.
