AdocJournal

A simple Rakefile to create and maintain my asciidoc journal.

Prerequisites

Ruby and Bundler.

Setup

You can manually tweak anything, but your life will be easier if you set these values in the Rakefile:

JOURNAL=foo
AUTHOR=user <[email protected]>

The JOURNAL value is the name of your journal. The AUTHOR is the AsciiDoc author.

Once done, run bundle exec rake init to initialize the journal. To build the journal, run bundle exec rake.

Layout / How To Use

Assuming your JOURNAL is named foo:

1. Edit foo.adoc with static content. Links to things that are imporant.
2. Edit foo_journal.adoc daily with your activities.
   1. The layout of a Journal entry is weekly H2 headers.
   2. Every day has a label.
   3. A day is comprised of, typically, only a bullet list.
3. Edit notes/anything.adoc with notes from any meeting you might be in or on a new project. You can always link the notes/anything.adoc file into the main foo.adoc file, include it in the foo_journal.adoc file, or even just link to it with link:notes/anything.html[]. The directories notes, projects and scraps are all scanned for adoc files.
