[hakyll] Some questions around context

[p***@spootnik.org]

Hi,

I'm beginning my transition from o-blog to hakyll and finding it very
satisfying so far, thanks for the great work.
I have a bit of trouble with a couple of use-cases and I would love your
input on it:

1. I would like to be able to supply arbitrary lists in my Context, a bit
like constField but for
a list. This would allow me to configure what my navigation area
contains, based on
the route. I can't see how to do it. I basically want something of this
essence:

mapListField :: String -> [(String, String)] -> Context a

It seems it should leverage listField, but since I'm not dealing with
items
How to go about it escapes me.

2. It seems as though the metadata from org-mode documents is not looked up
by hakyll. I am not speaking about YAML front-matter, but indications
such
as "#+title: Some title" which are valid in the Org-mode world. Is only
front-matter processed ? If so, how should I go about accessing the
pandoc document to pull its metadata ?

3. Is there a generic way of rewriting URLs ? My posts are stored as
YYYY-mm-dd-post-title.org, my previous URL nomenclature was
entries/YYYY/mm/dd/post-title.html, is it possible to access
item metadata during URL rewrites ?

Sorry for the - most likely - beginner questions, I'm still wrapping my
head around some parts of hakyll and haskell.

Cheers,
- pyr

I can't help with everything, but there was just this post to the
mailing list which should help with routing:

Thanks Kyle,

I had stumbled upon it later on also. Sorry for asking the same question
twice.
