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: 'Content of epigraph' # req'd if epigraph exists
link: 'http://link-to-epigraph-source/' # optional
attrib: 'Epigraph attribution' # optional
dedication: my mother # optional
ekphrastic: # optional image ekphrastic
image: 'link-to-image.ext'
title: 'Text for title text of image'
link: 'http://link-to-host-of-original/'
class: css class(es) for the image
project:
title: Original project name
order: 1 # page number, optional
prev: # optional
- 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: #optional
- 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 <http://autocento.me>), run `make all` in the src directory of this repository.
(Windows users: get a UNIX shell.
I'm over it.)
