Customizing Haunt to work with Skribilio

Customizing Haunt to work with Skribilio

[Joshua Branson]

Hello,

I am trying to use the lovely haunt static site generator with
Skribilio!  And I noticed that the default haunt as packaged by guix,
does not work with Skribilio.  I made a customized version of
Skribilio that would work with Haunt.

https://notabug.org/jbranso/guix-packages/src/master/packages/haunt.scm

But I am still getting an error message:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
joshua@dobby ~/prog/org/projects/generate-income/client-site$ haunt build
building pages in 'site'...
Backtrace:
           5 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/4vvbcxrqjm8dbc1g1gk9pakqgf7…")

ERROR: In procedure scm-error:
no reader available for post:  "posts/jolly-good-day.skr"
#+END_SRC

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Joshua

P.S.  I also made a video of be building this custom haunt package:

Hi Joshua,

Cool! I've been tinkering with the same idea the last couple of 
days.
In particular using the Skribilo outline reader to build websites 
from
org-mode files with haunt.

You need to add the `skribe-reader` to the list of readers in your 
site configuration:

```
#:readers (list commonmark-reader skribe-reader)
```

Haunt does not use Skribilo and it is not necessary to add 
skribilo as
input when building haunt. Haunt has it's own parser for the 
skribe
format 
(https://git.dthompson.us/haunt.git/tree/haunt/reader/skribe.scm).

The problem is that haunt does not know what to do with the *.skr 
file
("no reader available").

I've been doing some poking around into using Skribilo directly 
from
haunt. This is the basic idea:

```
(define-module (my-skribilo-reader)
  #:use-module (haunt reader)
  #:use-module (skribilo reader outline))

;; Make a haunt reader
(define haunt-outline-reader
  (make-reader
   (make-file-extension-matcher "org")
   (lambda (file)
     (let ((outline-reader (make-outline-reader))) ; This is the 
     Skribilo reader
       (do-some-processing-to-create-a-haunt-post
        (with-input-from-file file outline-reader))))))
```

Hope that helps,

PS: Would you be interested in porting Skribilo to Guile 3.0? I'm 
struggling with that and could use some help.

Yes!  I would be!  (Please bear in mind I'm saying "yes" to everyone who
asks me for help).  But sure.  Why not?  "You can have whatever you
want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want."  -Zig
Ziglar.  I'm free most mornings for the next few days, but my priority
is finishing a website for a client.  Let me know how I can help.
