Bilge Versions Save

Documentation for The Psalms - my blog about software’s intersection with culture. Not just for the website - for the entire process (correspondence, notetaking, drafting, *revising*, editorializing, promoting, discussing, and even reflecting.)

Howdy Writeas/WriteFreely people!

In this release, I hope I have finally delivered a fairly-polished, relatively thoroughly-tested, and even somewhat intuitively personalizable style configuration for you!

I'm going to (at least this once) be excruciatingly thorough in my presentation of what changes I've decided worth this release, why I set about modifying them, and precisely how they were implemented.

Largely to demonstrate in-depth CSS configuration within our particular/somewhat niche CMS environment in a visual/semi-chronological medium.

Changes

  • #49 - Added a super-cropped, sortolf web-optimized capture of @taroyabuki's single-page Unicode project.
  • #61 - With Write.as's addition of Rich Media Embed support via Embedly, I originally started this Issue with the intention of going back through the entire Psalms archive and converting every supported HTML embed into the raw URL of the targets. I made some significant progress, but ultimately decided to use my time doing something else and wait to apply this treatment to older posts until/unless I have another reason to edit a given post in the future. To track the state of embeds on Writeas, going forward, see: the embedas repo, the Gist I created (and will do my best to keep regularly updated) and The Psalms' updated public test page.
  • #24 - The Hypothes.is sidebar was being a pain in the ass because I accidentally configured it to expand immediately upon anyone landing on the page... That's been resolved.
  • #54 - Added CSS for code blocks including syntax highlighting. Here's how it should look:

3.1 Code Block

  • #39 - Added CSS for Tables as well. (Not quite satisfied with the look but it's certainly better than it was.)

3.1 Tables

  • #125 - Added CSS for GitHub Gists since they are explicitly supported by the new media embed integration. Definitely have more to do, but the result should suffice for a while.

3.1 Gists


For the next release, I really will take care of #52 Footnotes... But it's going to be a hot minute.

Bilge Three Point Oh I originally built on top of Max Henderson's Anxiety Theme, and so included a reference in the Custom CSS document. Now, though, there is actually nothing left of his code, as far as I can tell, which - in conjunction with the creation of this Repository and the addition of Adobe typography - I thought constituted a new numeral release.
