In the hopes that I’ll start regularly blogging soon, I decided to use a real static site generator instead of the cobbled-together mess of Makefiles and pandoc that I used before.

Less than a day into using it, I’m already regretting the decision to go with hugo. I built a hugo “shortcode” that pulls comment-delimited content from external files into the markdown files in order to keep source code in the blog posts up to date. It works pretty well!

The main downside is that I can’t figure out how to dedent the code that is being imported this way, so if you pull in an OCaml function that is defined inside of a few nested modules, all the code keeps the original indentation, causing the alignment to be very ugly. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know!
