From ecda49e0b20ad3bd52449356dccf2f8095ecfb70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Case Duckworth Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 21:49:45 -0700 Subject: Flatten directory structure All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /. I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make linking easier. I'm still thinking about whether I should move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into an 'assets' folder of some sort. We'll see. --- no-nothing.txt | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 72 insertions(+) create mode 100644 no-nothing.txt (limited to 'no-nothing.txt') diff --git a/no-nothing.txt b/no-nothing.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2b97892 --- /dev/null +++ b/no-nothing.txt @@ -0,0 +1,72 @@ +--- +title: No nothing +id: no-nothing +genre: verse + +project: + title: Autocento of the breakfast table + class: autocento +... + +| While [swimming in the river][] +| I saw [underneath it a river][] +| of stars.
