Taking some time to work on my academic website and decided to take the plunge and go #quarto. Nothing like having a project to learn new stuff.
It's a long time coming, really. I quite like the way it looks, but hard-coding my way through all the HTML and Bootstrap was cumbersome enough it's why I hadn't bothered updating it.
Picking up some cool ideas for using YAML and programmatic markdown generation to make updating the list of publications a piece of cake: https://ddimmery.com/posts/quarto-website/
Now I just need to figure out the #JuliaLang way to print markdown from code blocks, since I haven't had to work with that before...
oh okay that was a massive lot of overthinking on my part... turns out I just need to print() a string in markdown syntax???
(Weirdly any line coming after a button gets printed out literally? but it's mostly there, for surprisingly little effort)
"Navbar tools" in #quarto are super handy to display social media icons!
One minor drawback of moving to this solution: it relies on #Bootstrap icons, so there isn't one for #ORCID yet, whereas there was one when I used Font Awesome. #FeatureRequest time?
