Autocento of the breakfast table: a README
==========================================
Part I: in which our hero explains the goal
-------------------------------------------
The goal in this book, *Autocento of the breakfast table*, is to explore the workings of revision and recursion through words, both in the head and on paper.
It's a hypertextual imagining of how things could have been, in all of their possibilities.
Part II: How to use this repo
-----------------------------
This project uses John McFarlane's wonderful program [pandoc][], and its markdown flavor, to encode the poems and stories and things contained within.
To see the source text files, navigate to the [src/](autocento.me/src/) folder.
At the top of each file, there is a YAML metadata block that looks something like this:
````yaml
---
title: Title of poem
subtitle: Subtitle # optional
genre: verse # verse or prose
epigraph: # optional
- content: 'Quote from outside' # req'd if epigraph exists
link: 'Link to online version of epigraph' # optional
attrib: 'Who said the epigraph' # optional
dedication: John Doe # optional
project:
title: Original project name
order: 1 # original project order
prev:
- title: Title of previous thing in original project
link: link to that thing
- title: Title of other previous thing
link: link to that thing
next:
- title: Title of next thing in original project
link: link to that thing
- title: Title of other next thing
link: link to that thing
...
````
To compile all the markdown into glorious, glorious HTML (visible at <autocento.me>), run `compile.sh` (`bash compile.sh` in Windows) in the root directory of this git repository.
