Outline

• Hi. My name is Case Duckworth. This is my thesis.

Process steps

1. Write poems.
2. Convert to Markdown – generally easy.
3. Compile to HTML with Pandoc.
4. Style the pages with CSS.
5. Use Github to put them online.
   • git has been used throughout to keep track of changes.
   • It’s a Version Control System – usually used for code but adapted for creative writing.
6. Write Makefile for ease-of-compilation.
   • A makefile is a collection of instructions to make that tells it how to compile a set of files.
   • It’s made the other parts of this much easier.
7. Write Hapax legomenon compiler.
8. Write compiler for backlinks.
9. (TODO) write compiler for Index of first lines and common titles.

The beauty of this system

• I can compile these poems into (almost) any format: pandoc supports a lot.
• Once I complete the above process once, I can focus on revising my poems.
• These poems are online for anyone to see and work off of.
• Something something intertextuality.
