This is my zim based blog collection. It is not a true blog in that it is not sequential and it does not allow comments. But it is a collection of ideas and thoughts I have. It is based on the zim desktop wiki: https://launchpad.net/zim The basic structure is that each separate wiki page is called "page_name.txt". Zim in export mode created .html files from the wiki pages. To publish these .html files you put this directory into the html directory of your web server. Separate index.[txt,html] and Start.[txt,html] files are maintained. The index.html is used to browse the documents and is public.It contains the document structure of this Zim wiki blog. The Start.txt file is generated containing all the .txt files in the directory in alpha numeric order. I use this to find new .txt files I have added but not put into the index.html file yet. It is protected with chown 640 to avoid publishing. Access a local copy with with: file:/// . . . /Start.html This is a very different use of zim. I am not using it directly as a desktop wiki. I am using zim as a wiki to html parser and then using a browser to navigate the pages. I find the mixed mode of zim trying to be both a wiki browser and an editor to be confusing. I prefer using my browser to reference my pages but straight vi to edit them. I have written a script to maitain the wiki. bin/Zim.genweb.sh: update local files using git, generates a new Start.txt file and run zim in export mode to generate the .html files. Caution, in order to run this you must use "ssh -Y" to allow a connection to your X server. zim in export mode does not display anything to the X server, but it has to open it by default. A bug in my opinion. RLH Robert Harker Wanted: Zim is missing a template collection for notebook examples. I would like a simple template that has a Start.txt file which generates both a table of contents and an index. The wiki should have three section, first, middle and end. In the sections there should be code to link to the previous and next section as well as to the Start page. The code should make the back and forward buttons work when you fire up the zim http servlet. Some code in the section to generate paragraph oriented index entries would be super. A simple template for generating a nice looking html page with a wiki/side banner and maybe a logo would be icing on the cake. The important thing here is simple. I want to read the .txt files and understand how to create a self contained zim notebook.
