CONVERTING TEXT FORMATS WITH PANDOC (Pandoc site) One of my favorite tools is Pandoc. I use Pandoc when I need to convert one text format to another. One of the really useful things Pandoc can do is turn HTML or Markdown into EPUB format. I frequently do this in order to turn a set of notes into a file I can read using iBooks on my iPad. I do this in order to have an easily accessible set of notes for my workshops or to turn lengthy documentation into an easy to read offline format to read on an airplane. Pandoc can convert from and to many different file formats. In addition to creating quick EPUB files, I also use it to convert copy from Word documents to Markdown or other useful formats. This can be very useful if you get some messy copy from a client that needs to be converted to enter into a CMS. from: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/07/text-editing-tips-tricks/ Also see: Converting html to markdown using pandoc How to Use pandoc to Convert Files on the Linux Command Line

Differences between write.as and writefreely

wa case-insensitive Search | Get a list of hashtags for a write.as blog. Put blog name in input box (e.g., jwc) not the full url. [source] cjeller1592 on glitch | cjeller1592 on github | blog.cjeller.site | All public posts that use a certain hashtag: https://read.write.as/t/blogging
Hashtags do not work in an anonymous non-blog post, but they are active in a blog post. For published posts on read.write.as, tags can be searched, e.g.: https://read.write.as/t/personal. Hashtags are active for blog posts sent out to the fediverse, grouping a blog's posts by similar topics, and adding hashtags to tweets on Twitter and cross-posts on Medium [source] RSS feed: https://write.as/jwc/feed/ | Tags have RSS feeds too. Just add /feed/ to the tag URL, e.g. https://write.as/jwc/tag:cosmology/feed/ (Note: the trailing / is apparently required with rss feeds for tags)

Anonymous Drafts in write.as and writefreely are private (but shareable) unless they are posted to a blog: https://howto.write.as/creating-a-draft

HtmlHouse | We've disabled publishing on HTMLhouse due to an excessive number of phishing pages getting published. In the meantime, you can still use the editor to try out HTML and preview it in real time! As a reminder, HTMLhouse is free and #opensource software! You can always run it yourself and enable publishing on it. https://github.com/writeas/htmlhouse

In Ubuntu Firefox, a future dated post is hidden. In Windows, it shows with a 'scheduled' tag. So it's probably best to avoid future dated posts if you want them to show immediately on all machines. Also, if post font is sans-serif and custom CSS has only font-family: "Verdana";, on a non-Windows machine, a serif font is displayed. So to get sans-serif on all machines, do font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;

Markdown: Markdown Tables Generator | write.as link | MathJax is supported. | Write.as and WriteFreely markdown uses saturday which is a fork of blackfriday. The docs for MathJax support are here. This is in-line LaTeX rendered by MathJax: $\int \frac{d\theta}{1+\theta^2} = \tan^{-1}\theta+C$ lowercase lamba $\lambda$ and uppercase lambda $\Lambda$

Append .txt to the URL to see raw text of a post; .md for markdown

Inline CSS is available to all but CSS style sheet files are available only to Pro subscribers.

When editing a blog post, you can choose the font: serif, sans-serif, or monospace. This post is sans-serif.

Showing a “more” link on your blog posts listings page so that long posts show an excerpt not the entire text.

This is a span with custom style attributes. The html span tag works with inline CSS even with markdown text, but the div tag does not (the markdown does not display if you use a div). Also note you may get a double-space if you use a line-break before and after the span tag. Note that color names are needed (e.g., purple) not hex values. To include custom javascript add this in the Custom Javascript field (for premium accounts only): [source] // src: https://some.kind.of/library.js That’ll import whatever URL you enter. It doesn’t import that into the <head> but rather the end of the <body>, before any custom JS.

Anonymous non-blog posts can be edited if you have the link, in which case no password or other authentication is needed.

MathJax: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML tex2jax.js extensions inlineMath: [ ['$','$'], ["\\(","\\)"] ] displayMath: [ ['$$','$$'], ["\\[","\\]"] ]

Custom URLs on Blog Posts [source]

Your post URL is created from either: (1) The title, if there is one, (2) The first sentence if there is no title.

If you'd like a specific URL, be sure to add a title when you first publish your post. The title will be converted to a friendly name, like my-trip-to-florida, replacing spaces and other non-letters or numbers with hyphens (–).

After you've published a post, changing the title won't change the URL. This is on purpose, so that links from other sites to your posts don't suddenly stop working when you update a post.

Most handy features: ability to do both markdown and html/css in same post hashtags <-more->

Python write.as API: https://github.com/cjeller1592/Writeas-API | Mentioned in this write.as forum post

each blog supports its own domain, privacy settings, design, etc. It's essentially like having 10 separate accounts in one place that's easy to manage, and still private (publicly, no one knows you own all the blogs under your account).

Marko Saric comments on write.as

Outdated due to Pro account: Bookmarklet to make fuller use of screen width (these parameters seem to work best; substituting different values may give less optimum results). This works for both blog posts/listings and anonymous posts (if they are in .md format). It does not work as is for editting posts: javascript:(function(){var s=document.location.href;var a=document.createElement('style'),b;document.head.appendChild(a);b=a.sheet;b.insertRule('body{margin-left:0px;max-width:1000px;%20!important;}',0);if(s.includes("jwc")){b.insertRule('div.e-content{margin-left:0px;width:1000px; !important;}',0);}else{b.insertRule('div#post-body.e-content{margin-left:0px;width:900px;%20!important;}',0);};})(); This link helped me create the bookmarklet: http://adrianroselli.com/2015/01/css-bookmarklets-for-testing-and-fixing.html Other bookmarklet pages: Mozilla on bookmarklets | Chrome auto-refresh |
