Zola migration

[maxkapur]

Just messing around with a Zola migration. Only copied a few posts and pages into this version of the site; lots of posts will need manual attention to migrate. Adding issues here as I think of them:

• Jekyll interpolations like {{ site.email }} don't work for content pages in Zola (only works in templates); you need to define shortcodes for this (see mailto() example)
• KaTeX syntax with $$ ... $$ delimiters... Probably we can still make it work but server-side compilation is a bit tricker. Example from a template that does it: https://github.com/aterenin/academic-paper/blob/eb68d9364d8e9d2f960e38acfe8b1aa276b79277/.github/workflows/deploy.yml#L44 I would prefer to use Deno or something to execute the JS locally and avoid the Node dependency. Local builds and GH action builds should work the same way
• Check formatting of the formats masterpost closely for parity.
• Header/footer, can we port the sort_order custom functionality?
• Appropriate handling of hidden: true posts. Maybe they should become pages in the end? Part of the motivation for that, IIRC, was to be able to render the formats masterpost as a post (not a standalone page) to make sure the styles were cascaded in the same way. But the current Zola scaffold uses the same template for posts and pages (plan is to just add conditional logic to account for different frontmatter), so this might not be necessary.
• CSS migration. I would prefer to get away from Sass. The definitions should be easy to port. But let's see if we can structure the new CSS in a way that's easier maintain, e.g. https://jacobb.nyc/writing/how-i-write-css-in-2024
• Change post path to match what we had before if possible? Right now Zola expects titles to be unique but this isn't true (but date+title is unique as serves as the Atom post ID)

Before I get too attached to this, want to remind myself that Hugo has native support for KaTeX server-side rendering: https://gohugo.io/functions/transform/tomath/

You have to use a specific tag like {{ transform.ToMath "c = \\pm\\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}" }} instead of $$ ... $$ delimiters but I was planning on changing the delimiters anyway, and this will integrate fully with the build/preview loop, unlike the post-processing thing I had envisioned for Zola. Zola is a lovely little SSG but maybe this project really does require the machinery of Hugo after all.
