Zola test: Can you group taxonomies in front matter?

In Zola, draft = true works in the front matter

Three new posts on my Zola site:

Today in Labor History February 23, 1898: France imprisoned author Emile Zola for writing J’Accuse, his letter accusing the French government of antisemitism and wrongfully imprisoning Captain Alfred Dreyfus.

I just checked how well Zola 0.18 in OpenBSD builds my blog (with its whopping SINGLE POST), which until now I have been building with Zola 0.19.2 in Linux.

Everything looks fine, including atom and rss feeds.

I just checked the Zola project site and learned that 0.20.0 is out.

While admitting that I don't know that much about the project, it doesn't look like almost anything changed

I like this post from @bbelderbos on How to Blog with Zola.

I have been thinking about a shell script to start a new entry, and he has one here https://apythonistalearningrust.com/blog-with-zola/

He uses the Terminimal theme, which I did test and consider since I used to use the theme that inspired it in Hugo

A great post from @orhun on how he set up his Zola blog with the after-dark theme https://blog.orhun.dev/setting-up-this-blog/

Are you looking for good Zola template code for RSS feeds?

The after-dark theme is produced by the Zola team, and their code for dropping the RSS/Atom line into HTML files from their index.html template is what I'm going to use with the Hook theme:

Zola is available for Fedora in the Copr repo. The Linux binary you download from the Zola project also works (and that's what I'm using).

There are lots of ways to get the Zola static blog engine on various systems.

This is where I need to be reading: The Tera template engine that is used for Zola sites https://keats.github.io/tera/

My Zola site now has atom.xml and rss.xml.

I copied the index.html from my theme into my main Zola directory's templates file, then made the changes that allowed the RSS feeds to build.

I've been playing with the Zola static site generator all week, and here's my first post with some of the things I've learned:

Zola theme benchmarks

I don't want to say most of the Zola themes haven't updated their code so RSS feeds work. I will just leave it at "many."

I found the problem and (sort of) the solution, but I am at odds as to how to fix it myself.

I tried to fix one theme per this Github issue but it didn't work. I'm just a new Zola user -- I haven't seen enough templates just yet.
