homebrewery VS github-orgmode-tests

I want to create an east-asian inspired tavern. Once I'm done I'll post on this subreddit a polished version (using The Homebrewery). By commenting you are giving me permission to copy your suggestions.

I made this one to mimic the Baldur's Mouth newspaper, as seen in BG3, using the Homebrewery - I created a template here.

Quite a few people seem to think there should be (and are surprised to find there isn't) something that lets them dump in their Google Doc design and have it magically formatted into a pretty PDF for them. Something like Homebrewry, but not D&D-centric, and they probably expect it to be even easier than however you edit stuff on there.

One example that I contribute to: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com

It is a code mirror app that outputs md styled like dnd books. It’s very much a “round peg in square hole” project, using html/css to create print materials, but for many it is good enough. It is just html and css, and allows customization, and precise styling requires precise css properties.

As you noted, it does only work well in one browser, Chrome on desktop (even though I think all the devs use FF as their daily driver). But as another commenter noted, the answer is that you design on one machine and share via pdf.

For layout, you can start with something like The Homebrewery.

There's already a ton of open-source UIs such as Chatbot-ui[3] and Reor[4]. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Personally, I haven't been consistent enough through the years in note-taking.

So, I'm really curious to learn more about those of you who were and implemented such pipelines.

I'm sure there's a ton of really fascinating experiences.

literate config (using ORG mode)

Obligatory reference to Emacs Org-Mode [1].

Author's approach is basically Org-Mode with fewer helpers.

Org-mode's power is that, at core, it's just a text file, with gradual augmentation.

Then again, Org-Mode is a tool you must install, accessible through a limited list of clients (Emacs obviously, but also VSCode), and the power of OP's approach is that it requires no external tools.

This reminds me a lot of [Org Mode](https://orgmode.org/). Do you have plans to add other org-like features, like evaluating code blocks? I don't personally see myself moving away from org-mode, but it would be nice to have something to recommend to people who are reluctant to use emacs, even if it's only for a single application.

If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode."

Wow, no one has recommended Org mode (https://orgmode.org). I started using Emacs nearly 20 years ago specifically because of Org. I use Org for all my static sites, note taking, to-do lists and calendar. Org has a lightweight markup language that has far more features than Markdown (e.g., plain text spreadsheets!), but the markup isn't visible to the extent that Markdown is in most editors. Emacs with Org files behaves almost like a WYSIWYG editor. For example, links in Org files are clickable and their URLs aren't visible unless a cursor is hovered over them. I'm an obsessive note-taker with more than 6,000 Org files in my personal knowledge base and none of the dozens of other note-taking apps that I've evaluated comes even close to Emacs with Org. But to be fair, I create content on Linux only so support for mobile devices doesn't matter to me.

By the way, I think it's hilarious that you mentioned Dreamweaver, dv35z, because I experimented with using Dreamweaver for note-taking in the 90s! I still have a few HTML files that include notes I took back then using Dreamweaver. Needless to say, I definitely prefer Emacs with Org!

Just another reason for one to get into org-mode[1] and org-roam[2].

Combine this with the concept of Zettelkasten[3] and you have a wonderful way to organize and store all your notes and writings, and even a way to know at what point you should move your idea from analog to digital (based on it's maturity, e.g. "evergreen state").
