This page now uses zola.

It was pretty straight forward to set up, simply following getting-started should get you up and running.

Deploying to GithubPages is also fairly simple deployment.

Couple of things I had to look for:

• Formatting dates:

{{ page.date | date(format=$chrono_format_string) }} example: {{ page.date | date(format="%D") }}

• Using the correct relative url in the template:

{ get_url(path=$path)} example: { get_url(path="/")}

• Adding new lines in markdown:

<br/>

Update1:
Turns out that css matters in markdown spacing. The above <br/> trick is not needed if the css stylesheet used have a good enough spacing between paragraphs.
Line breaks if needed can be added with \

Currently I have switched to sakura css framework.
So far it looks quite nice and it adapts automatically to smaller screens.
