custom metafield to generate multiple tag lists.

helpbygr...@gmail.com (Eunchan Kim) — Tue, 14 May 2013 04:03:56 UT

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement my sky observation logs with Hakyll. It was
implemented w/ Python + Django before.
What I want to do is.
1. I write observation log based on sky groups and date. Which means I
will make 20130514-m57.rst and 20130514-m31m32.rst if I observed m57, m31,
m32 in May 14, 2013.

Hello! I'm new to Haskell and completely new to Hakyll, so I'm sure the

Was the rule for heading changed in Hakyll4?
Is there any way to make the first heading in a post makes as H1?

Hello all,

I've just released Hakyll 4.2, which brings a few improvements. A
version bump was required because of a (minor) backwards-incompatible
change:

The functions `chronological` and `recentFirst` now actually look at
the dates of items (e.g. in metadata) instead of just the filepaths.
