markdown-mode VS ox-hugo

My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.

I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

Even emacs has a markdown mode:

There is markdown-mode if you really prefer it over org. I use it to read markdown files sent by colleagues. It's very powerful, and very well documented, though honestly I don't use much of it's functionality. I use it mainly for it's ability to hide the markup (much like org) and follow hyperlinks.

As much as I love Emacs with markdown-mode, I agree that ghostwriter is the simplest for most users.

I can't find it here https://leanpub.com/markdown-mode/read#leanpub-auto-lists and here https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/

;; This is a workaround to a bug in markdown-mode: ;; See: https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-mode/issues/377 ;; https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/333#issuecomment-913015564 (defun mpolden/gfm-unescape-string (string) "Remove backslash-escape of punctuation characters in STRING." ;; https://github.github.com/gfm/#backslash-escapes (replace-regexp-in-string "[\\]\([][!\"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@\_`{|}~-]\)" "\1" string))

Emacs makes autosaves by default and supports markdown-mode. Usually though it's nicer to put them in a central location by setting backup-directory-alist instead of the default behavior of putting them in directory you're working in of the original file. I stuff them into a directory ~/.saves with (setq backup-directory-alist(("." . "~/.saves")))`.

markdown-mode by Jason Blevins seems not have this function.

You might wish to install the Markdown Mode package. If don't want to do that for some reason, you can tell Emacs that files with names ending in ".md" should be opened in Text Mode by doing something like

Long term: request here https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo as a feature to make this customizable. Once implemented, you would be able to customize this value with `M-x customize-option`.

sure, it's a little personal but i just made the repo public, here you go:

- https://github.com/geekodour/diary/blob/main/content-org/wee...

- https://github.com/geekodour/diary/blob/main/layouts/partial...

Basically it's very badly written elisp code that populates the same org file with metadata like week number etc. and then I have a custom hugo layout for writing out the weeks into posts.

All of this is tied together by https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo

Check out ox-hugo. You could maybe set up a capture template with the proper file options and use the one post per org file method.

Appears to be related to this issue: https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/issues/630.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm using ox-hugo to export my Org files to markdown so they can be rendered by Hugo, so that's what I'm using in terms of export. ox-hugo handles the citations fine but in my references section, no URL appears when I use the url field. I haven't configured anything, everything is on their defaults. (I'm on Doom Emacs, if that's relevant.) Thanks for the help!

Not if it's digital and you can search! I'm traditionally a no notes guy but I've been trying to build out an easily referenced knowledge base using Org-roam and Ox-hugo and it's been pretty great, especially if you're juggling multiple topics. It's probably overkill but the hope is that I'm future proofing a bit by making these things available in perpetuity, and the workflow for the whole thing is incredibly efficient thanks to the org mode in general and other Emacs plugins.

There is a number of options using third-party packages. For example, https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/

I like ox-hugo to write in Org Mode and export to Hugo. I host the repo on GitHub Pages to publish to the web without self-hosting or paying hosting fees, linked up to my custom domain. This is what the blog looks like, for reference. The URL https://ljwrites.github.io redirects to my domain if you try it.
