hii this site was generated with my own lil generator i wrote in bash but i wanna redo it in lisp soon cause lisp cute uwu
Right now it's a /strict/ builder that expects a certain level of compliance, so it may require you to change some things in your capsule.
First of all, you can't "templatize" pages themselves. Pages like this one are written completely by hand, so if you're used to putting a "Back to top" button on all your pages, as is popular in gemini nowadays, you will do it by hand, per page. Of course, most clients allow you to "go up one directory", so I feel that it is unneeded.
Also, the top of each page expects a certain format:
Where \n is a newline. Anything after that is your business. If you need to, you can actually put anything in the space between the title and date, like:
# TITLE
oh hi :3
June 26, 2020
But it is common convention to leave a blank space underneath headers.
You can select whether you opt to put the date at the top (under the title) or bottom (very last line) of the file. The date must be /somewhere/ in the file, as that's how this generator sorts the files!
Also also... The generator extracts the title of the post. It doesn't slap the date in front of it either. This is because accessibility is important to me, and maybe people with screen readers don't want a garble of date text being thrown at them every half a second.
