I can write Jekyll posts with reStructuredText now.
I spent the last few days fiddling with Pelican and Nikola to see how much work it would take to convert my site. So far? Lots of work. I customized the build for this silly site quite a bit.
Meanwhile I decided that I must have reStructuredText] available for my posts. I grabbed the jekyll-rst Jekyll plugin and followed its directions.
Let me just build real quick to make sure this works at all.
Well, no.
Oh I know that smell. You get that with code that isn’t completely ready for Python 3. Here’s the smallest change to make that error go away.
Now it builds.
Then I ripped out all the special options because that was easier than adjusting my stylesheets to take them into account.
So. It works. Yay! I can write Jekyll posts with reStructuredText!
That should keep me a little happier while I continue porting the site to another generator.
