I've been wanting to use ikiwiki for years, but the idea of investing time in the perl ecosystem and perl-based implementation stops me. -- [[Simon Michael]] + +----- + +I've recently been wondering whether I could migrate my personal blog (powered by IkiWiki) to Hakyll. +I'm really fond of Ikiwiki's wiki link syntax, as well as the linking rules, and many of the features +offered by plugins. Therefore I set out to see how easily (and whether it's even feasible) to implement +them on top of Hakyll. I'm totally new to Hakyll so I don't fully understand some of the concepts but +I've made some promising initial progress. I decided to share my work in progress experiments here: +<https://github.com/jmtd/hakyll-ikiwiki> + +I can recognise and parse out wiki links and directives. Wikilinks are translated into HTML links, but +the page-linking rules are not yet implemented (the wiki link target is passed through as-is). For +Directives, I've written basic implementations of `meta` and `tag`. In both cases, I build up Hakyll +`Metadata`, which is really a hash map. I've yet to figure out plumbing that back into Hakyll, though. +I've got an idea of how to handle `template`, but haven't tried coding it up yet. — [[Jon]] |
