Gemini spec p. 5.5.1 used to only allow up to three #-s in a heading before requiring a mandatory space. It changed to an optional space in recent updates, allowing to no longer pad Markdown H4-H6. As clients treat everything after ### a title continuation, the renderer will now insert H4-H6 verbatim; the end-user behavior doesn't change as extra space means nothing for a Gemtext renderer displaying the title in a special way. Relates to #1. PS: Gemini spec doesn't appear to be properly versioned, saying the latest version is 0.14.3, 2020-11-29. The discussion on #1 clearly shows it used to be different a while ago. |

Hugo-to-Gemini converter
This repo holds a converter of Hugo Markdown posts to text/gemini (also named Gemtext in this README). The converter is supposed to make people using Hugo's entrance to Project Gemini, the alternate web, somewhat simpler.
The renderer is somewhat hasty, and is NOT supposed to be able to convert the entirety of possible Markdown to Gemtext (as it's not possible to do so, considering Gemtext is a lot simpler than Markdown), but instead a selected subset of it, enough for conveying your mind in Markdown.
The renderer uses the gomarkdown library for parsing Markdown. gomarkdown has a few quirks at this time, the most notable one being unable to parse links/images inside other links.
gmnhg
This program converts Hugo Markdown content files from content/
in
accordance with templates found in gmnhg/
to the output dir. It
also copies static files from static/
to the output dir.
For more details about the rendering process, see the doc attached to the program.
Usage of gmnhg:
-output string
output directory (will be created if missing) (default "output/")
-working string
working directory (defaults to current directory)
md2gmn
This program reads Markdown input from either text file (if -f filename
is given), or stdin. The resulting Gemtext goes to stdout.
Usage of md2gmn:
-f string
input file
md2gmn is mainly made to facilitate testing the Gemtext renderer but can be used as a standalone program as well.
Site configuration
For RSS feeds to use correct URLs, you should define geminiBaseURL in Hugo's configuration file (config.toml, config.yaml, or config.json).
Other attributes from this file, such as site title, will also be used during RSS feed generation if they are defined.
