HasClunk 0.7.0
==============
2022-09-25
Today I've released HasClunk 0.7.0 [1]. This is a small but
useful update that tweaks RSS generation a bit.
After installing a new RSS reader on my phone I noticed that
the posts in my feed don't have any dates. This was no real
surprise since I didn't add pubDate tags to the feed, always
relying on the post order making sense. However, this reader
jumbled up the post order so adding dates was necessary and
it's also nice for my (non-existing) readers to know that I
have in fact written posts at a certain date, and that
they're not dateless posts that have been conceived beyond
time and space.
Another thing I addressed is the fact that most RSS readers
don't like relative URL's in stuff like images. HasClunk did
support using the base_url tag in posts, however when
converting from Markdown to HTML Pandoc is kind enough to
replace these tags with HTML entities, which makes trying to
replace them afterwards a bit problematic, or well, not
working at all. So now I'm first replacing those base_url
tags in the original post files and then converting them to
HTML.
