I'm now publishing [my zettelkasten](https://github.com/thomasabishop/eolas)
|
||
|
|
publicly at
|
||
|
|
[https://thomasabishop.github.io/eolas/](https://thomasabishop.github.io/eolas/).
|
||
|
|
I wanted to be able to access my notes from different devices and also have them
|
||
|
|
in a nicer format with syntax highlighting and LaTeX support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm using the [Neuron](https://neuron.zettel.page/) static site generator which
|
||
|
|
is designed specifically zettelkasten-type projects. It requires that the links
|
||
|
|
and some other metadata are in a specific format. However, I wanted the
|
||
|
|
publishing process to be decoupled from my actual notes and not have to make
|
||
|
|
arbitrary changes to suit Neuron.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I wrote a simple Python application
|
||
|
|
([neuron-zk-generator](https://github.com/thomasabishop/neuron-zk-generator))
|
||
|
|
that copies the source notes into a specific directory and applies all necessary
|
||
|
|
formatting to this copy. This generator executes locally when I push to the
|
||
|
|
remote and creates a Neuron directory which is then built (via a GitHub Action)
|
||
|
|
and deployed via GitHub pages.

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div style="text-align:center">
|
||
|
|
It applies some basic CSS changes and also generates dynamic content for the
|
||
|
|
home page, displaying the build ID, publication date, a page count and the most
|
||
|
|
recently updated files along with an index:
