README for demo journal
=============================================================================

This is a demo of how I keep my private journal. In short:

* markdown files (mostly) in git
* [ikiwiki][] renders to HTML (locally or via CI to a website)
  - ikiwiki's [inline][] directive helps collect journal entries
  - tags and topic pages help collect
  - I have a "topic" for each person
* [jt][] helps make entries and maintain the journal (not necessary,
  but relieves some tedium)

[inline]: http://ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki/directive/inline/
[jt]: http://git.liw.fi/jt


To use:

* install ikiwiki
* clone this repo
* edit ikiwiki.setup to set paths appropriately
* run ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup
* open the output files in a web browser or sync the files to a web
  server -- ikiwiki renders static pages, and does not need to be
  installed on the server
* create journal entries as notes/YYYY/MM/DD/basename.mdwn -- see
  examples
