Dans le classique schéma pour la gestion du projet, on met le besoin du client d’abord. C’est important de l’entendre avant de commencer le traf. Sinon, on risque de perdre des heures (ou pire des jours) sur une chose que le client ne valide pas. Avant d’y mettre l’effort, il est bon de lui montrer idée générale et de lui demander un avis, afin d’éviter de lui délivrer un produit qu’il ne veut pas.

Background In Customized Archetype for This Site, I was using
{{ slicestr .Name 11 | humanize | title }} in the title attribute in my site’s archetypes/default.md, so that the first 11 characters (YYYY-MM-DD-) would be taken out if I type this command.
$ hugo new post/$(date -I)-<MY_POST_TITLE>.md In practice, <MY_POST_TITLE> can be replaced to any title, like my-post-title.
Problem I wanted to create my IntelliJ cheatsheet, so I typed this command.

Background I’m writing my guide for preparing simple documents. I hope that users can prepare documents efficiently and the prepared documents look smart.
Problem To help readers get my message in the linked guide, I used many icons from Font Awesome. However, it doesn’t include pandoc’s logo. I tried searching that using the search string “pandoc logo filetype:svg”. Duckduckgo couldn’t find any results. Luckily, Google found many SVGs. The first result linked to a relevant discussion on Google Groups.

Goal To render a bordered box with multiple equations.
Background My previous article about dot products contains some boxed math expressions: some are inline and some take up the whole line.
For inline math, that’s simple: either $\fbox{text}$ or $\boxed{a=1}$ will do. For displayed math, these two KaTeX commands will ignore the newline command \\.
Solution A simple Google search ‘“katex” AND “box”’ saved the day. It led me to this relevant Stack Overflow question, whose accepted answer suggested the use of custom CSS.

Background Beautiful Hugo comes with Font Awesome icons. However, it seems that it’s no longer maintained.
Goal To upgrade Font Awesome to the current stable version (6.1.1).
Problem The official guide for self-hosting Font Awesome Web Fonts + CSS suggests users to place the following files
filepath role /fontawesome/webfonts/ Free Web Fonts /fontawesome/css/all.min.css CSS file for using Free Web Fonts into somewhere in my theme. The left column of the diagram features the folder assets/.

Background I lacked motivation to keep this tweaked theme up with Hugo’s development after last summer. When I came back yesterday, I saw that some pages using Font Awesome icons were broken. Apart from that, the ToC list level problem resurfaced.
Fixed ToC The solution that I had adopted no longer worked. Luckily, some users provided a shorter code in the later discussions. The one from user501254 caught me. I first tried to copy his code into the partial layout for ToC.

GitHub Actions provide CI/CD support, which might interest many GitHub users. I’ve applied for this feature a week ago. Luckily, my application for the trial was approved by GitHub. Tonight, I’ve found the motivation for making my first step in my forked repo VincentTam/beautiful-jekyll.
My setup:
Clicked on the “Action” tab of the repo. Chose the workflow file template for Jekyll. Added a slash / in front of srv in chmod 777 srv/jekyll, so as to fix the “no such file or directory” error.

Background I prefer including the date into the Permalink of a post. Everytime I create a new post, I type
hugo new post/$(date -I)-post-title.md to ensure that the date is correct.
Problem The title field in the post’s front matter contained the date, which wasn’t something that I wanted because it’s already shown next to the icon.
Observations Neither \d nor [\d] works for the PCRE character class \d.
Solution I tried piping replaceRE, but I didn’t manage to get it work.
