I just released v0.1.0 of hinoki, my static site generator :)
The README.md should explain usage, and you can also see how I ported my blog to it here.
This project started because I’m not entirely happy with Zola, which does not support customizing page paths much (e.g. /year/month/day/title/index.html style paths) and made some other design decisions that I wanted to explore alternatives to.
You can download the binary from GitHub releases, or cargo install it from git.
Any feedback is appreciated, here or in the GitHub issues!
I’m not sure how they implemented it either but it must be tricky (or maybe it’s easy to implement but hard to make it fast?) if Hugo still doesn’t have support for it. I did a search in the Zola repo on github for “backlink” and these are the files that showed up.
You have to link pages using the Zola way (starting with a @/), and all pages and posts have to live under the
/content/folder. So if you hadpage1.mdandpage2.mdand wanted to link from one to the other, in page2 you’d have[Page 1](@/page1.md). On page2 you’d see the normal link, and on page1 you’d see that page2 links to it.
