Hexo and EJS

Today I am taking another detour into the world of Hexo. Hexo is a blogging platform that is almost 100% command line driven. With Hexo the options for a blog "post" are markdown (.md) or embedded javascript (.ejs). Until recently I had never heard of ejs. So I figured that maybe I'd take a little time today and dive a little deeper. The following notes are all I have so far.

EJS is javascript based templating.

Here's an example

1 2 3 4 5

<% var random=" " .repeat(198).split("").map(x=> Math.random()); %> <% random.forEach((c, i)=> { %> <%=c.toFixed(10) + ((i + 1) % 6===0 ? "\n" : "" ) %> <%});%>

Let's see some random numbers

And just like that, you have a page full of numbers.

Let's try some HTML
