eleventy 🕚⚡️
A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.
Notion works with content blocks. Each paragraph and each formatted section is a block on its own. Fetching that from Notion gets me a load of nested objects that are cumbersome to work with. I'm using NotionToMarkdown to take care of that. This will give me a markdown string from a Notion page that's easy to work with. Beware it’s just a markdown string, though. Using it in a template will output the unrendered string. But if we put that into a markdown file, from which eleventy will generate pages, it will also render the markdown string to HTML.
I did have to work around a bug for this to work. Apparently, this method will not process all images correctly, leading to broken image links. Thankfully, this has already been reported and solved. The fix is inside the node package zeroby0/eleventy-img#issue-146. I expect this workaround to be obsolete soon.
According to the docs, this shouldn’t happen. Turns out I stumbled onto another known bug and the solution is to use the canary build.
