config: generify about and how-to placeholders #81

Closed xeruf closed 2 years ago

xeruf commented 2 years ago

the timestamps in the id don't make sense for such persistent entries

xeruf commented 2 years ago

Also added copying css to get a functional page by default.

I'd accept one of those patches. So if you get rid of the other, I can merge. I don't know if Github allows me to merge one of your two patches while ignoring the other.

Ah, I was not aware that the datestamp is cut away. Well then we could change it to a fictional date to make that clear, like 0000-00-00, hm?

You can add my repo as remote and cherry-pick it :)

Yes, that is a possibility although I don't care to do so because the datestamp is cut in all IDs, not only persistent ones. So it really doesn't matter if and which date-stamp you're using there. That's not special for that particular heading, that's a generic behavior of lazyblorg to be able to work with unique IDs and sill get generic URLs.

Ah, I may play around with that idea some day.

Alternatively we could make the id more specific like about-this-blog so there is no duplication.

Btw, do you have any reference how you generate org-ids? I always work with custom ids and org tends to be a bit reluctant about that ;)

That would still potentially interfere with use-cases where one person does maintain two different lazyblorg setups in parallel. In general, you're right: the convention to name persistent default pages could be a different one.

You should read https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org and look for all occurrences of my-id-get-or-generate which I'm using to generate IDs most of the time. For lazyblorg articles, I tend to write them manually in order to make the URL path as short as possible and as expressive as possible.
