About This Site

For the web, searching is based on this example by Edd Turtle, though with some bugfixes. It is done client-side by the Fuse.js lightweight searching library and the mark.js keyword highlighter.

Hugo renders the Markdown into HTML. The theme is a lightly-modified Fluency.

The source code to this site is available on Github.

JavaScript used here

JavaScript used here is served locally and is completely optional. Functionally, it is used to power the client-side search engine, but that’s all. No JavaScript will simply cause the search to break, but everything else continues to work.

I have tried to ensure all embedded JavaScript is Free Software.
