## datum

---

#### **'datum'** is (in my use) slimmest, quickest markdown based blogging helper

### How it works? 

> * you keep your markdown blogs named as "YYYY-MM-DD..md" in a data dir

> * provide this data dir path to datum and get your static blogging content to be served

---

Meaning:

> da·tum

> ˈdātəm,ˈdatəm/

> noun

> 1.

> a piece of information.

> 2.

> a fixed starting point of a scale or operation

---

> NOTE: datum doesn't bring in updates for boilerplate if changed post-creation, so required full cleanup and generation in such case

#### Example

I've attached a very 0-level original example (to be improved later, PR welcomed).

See the effect, change directory to datum's root... then

* to convert using Github API (requires Internet)

> DATUM_BASEDIR="example/" ./dat-2-um.sh

* to convert using Pandoc utlity (need to be installed using cabal)

> DATUM_CONVERTER="pandoc" DATUM_BASEDIR="example/" ./dat-2-um.sh

* if got some other boilerplate for blog

> DATUM_BOILERPLATE=simpleblog DATUM_CONVERTER="pandoc" DATUM_BASEDIR="example/" ./dat-2-um.sh

To change links from top-nav-bar and side-nav-bar; or to change Title, Heading, Subheading of blog... configure the desired values in **baseinfo.json** available at base of created blog-dir.
