tbrowder lizmat: can we use the "Ultimate Markdown" plug in with our raku-advent site? 11:29
lizmat no, I'm afraid not 11:30
but if you have a post in markdown, I can put that into WP for you
tbrowder even a paid version?
lizmat the raku advent site is currently free 11:31
and I don't want to take on any financial obligations for it, as going back from it will probably be near impossible 11:34
tbrowder hm...bummer, the old one-way content scam... 11:36
i'll take you up on that, if you'll let me buy you a beer in Greenville... 11:38
lizmat for sure!
tbrowder not quite ready, but getting there 11:39
lizmat good to hear... just privmsg / email me the gist 11:40
of the markdown

jdv who is doing the advent thing? 14:06
looks like day 17 might be missing from the 24 cat
raku-advent.blog/category/2024/
also, why is the 23 cat link on, and/or why is the 24 cat link not on, the front page? 14:07
lizmat jdv: I am 14:08
fixed 1, the 24 cat link will be on after dec 25 14:09

librasteve tbrowder: fwiw I was thinking of making a WP plugin raku syntax highlighter for the advent calendar a couple of months ago due to the manual nature of achieving raku syntax highlighting via gist (huh?) - initially my idea for this was to use Rainbow (afaik a raku highlighter - or at least parser) written in raku 14:30
but - the wider picture was (i) I ran out of time, (ii) it would need a paid subscription to wordpress.com for the advent calendar site and (iii) it would not have worked anyway since I am sure you cannot install raku on a hosted WP instance on wordpress.com ;-( 14:32
given a bit more runway (which we willl have in scads comes 1st Jan), I would have proposed something like an AWS EC-2 instance (like this raku.land/zef:librasteve/CLI::AWS::EC2-Simple) with a full WP source install (like this raku.land/zef:librasteve/CLI::Wordpress) where we could export / import all the content on wordpress.com advent cal site and run some raku. My expectation is that this would 14:39
need t3.small ($20 / month) or t3.medium ($40/month) so that is a real cost.
or we could do this on any hosted ubuntu LTS server instance with a fixed IP address if anyone can donate one 14:40
tbh this would be a bit of a hassle and wordpress.com does provide a robust and scalable (at our traffic levels) capability 14:42
timo i would much prefer something like a simple-to-use raku script that uses rainbow to make highlighting, so we don't have to spend money on something every month, and we don't have to manually go through gists 14:43

librasteve timo: I agree that that would be a big improvement 14:44
timo also, there's a raku infra team who are taking care of hosting some things. i would refer to them for the decision of what kind of machine the raku advent should be hosted on
and if we can, i'd nope away from wordpress. i've run my own blog on ghost a long time ago, it wasn't bad. we don't need the full power of wordpress to turn our website into literally anything just by downloading a plugin or two 14:45
librasteve a lot of these ideas were so I could play with Rainbow - eg for use on a Cro based rakudoc site
timo did you already look at how the current doc site uses rainbow?
librasteve not yet - my path is (i) get to the point where I can build a website on Cro the right way (see yesterday's post ;-), (ii) build a static site example that could be a new design for raku.org and then offer it to the team, (iii) add htmx based edit / preview to certain pages for admin (like the current rakudoc site), with raku syntax highlighting with Rainbow and (iv) do something similar for markdown 14:49
I look forward to stealing the design from the current (or v2) doc site 14:50
timo ah, so you would also want highlighting to work in the browser as you're typing? 15:01
i wonder if rainbow is simple enough to work with perlito6 which hasn't been updated in a long long time 15:02
jdv lizmat: thanks 15:04

jdv lizmat: the reason the 24 cat is interesting to me is that i tend to like to look at the list of posts every few days and the main page only shows the last couple posts 15:37
jdv is a picky binger
lizmat at the bottom of each post, there's a "previous" link 15:38
jdv yeah i know. that requires a lot of scrolling without summary. its all good.
are we gonna get a historical like video like randal did for perl for raku? 15:40
i haven't seen it yet. just sounded neat.
lizmat I haven't seen it
jdv the claim is it'll be part of hte perl advent calendar once its ready 15:41
jdv just realized next xmas (25) it'll be 10y - time flies 15:43
[Coke] Is the randal thing old? Last I saw of him, he was not working in perl anymore. 15:50
jdv it was a zoom thing on 12/14 15:52
oalders says hes just waiting on randal's approval before its posted 15:53
lu.ma/giz69577
[Coke] nice. 16:06
librasteve timo: highlighting when typing sounds lovely but the core need for me would be to do like gh markdown does … with highlighting for (static) preview in a tab and on the published page… 16:27

ab5tract There was a font recently that embeds a bunch of different colors so that you can theoretically do syntax highlighting blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-b...hlighting/ 21:38
Without JS or CSS
I’ve been meaning to look into whether it can be combined with Rainbow 21:39
guifa ab5tract that's pretty insane 22:31
I've done some really crazy things with font tables before but that definitely takes the cake
