Org Roam Post

Published: December 1, 2021

A neat little feature I added to my Emacs is posting straight from Org Roam to my website. Combining it with Ox-Hugo, and configuring the Roam template so that it includes the necessary metadata. Specifically the export_file_name option. Note that Ox-Hugo doesn’t respect filetags but rather expects hugo_tags which is a little odd but I’m sure there’s a reason…

      :unnarrowed t)))

and some dir-local variables to indicate the particular section I want this my notes to go into, along with a couple other configuration options
