Taking some time to work on my academic website and decided to take the plunge and go . 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: ddimmery.com/posts/quarto-webs

Now I just need to figure out the way to print markdown from code blocks, since I haven't had to work with that before...

ddimmery.comDrew Dimmery - Quarto for an Academic WebsiteI continue my long search for a way to generate a nicely formatted website with publication list based on adding publication information to a single source of truth without re-remembering how all the formatting works each time.

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 are super handy to display social media icons!

One minor drawback of moving to this solution: it relies on icons, so there isn't one for yet, whereas there was one when I used Font Awesome. time?
