Jekyll Authoring Tool (JAT)
The Jekyll Authoring Tool (JAT) is a Ruby on Rails app that will produce markdown files (.md) suitable for immediate usage in most Jekyll blogs/websites.
Via a webform, the user is prompted for the post's title, permalink
(usually only used for non-blog posts), layout (the default is "post"),
and the post's content. Upon clicking the "generate" button, the user is prompted
to download a text file that includes all of the above information formatted
correctly, including the date the post was generated and a file name in the
format of "YYYY-MM-DD-hyphenated-title.md", which is typically used by Jekyll
sites for blog posts in the _posts directory (other types of pages can be simply
saved as
Usage
If you have Ruby/Ruby on Rails installed, navigate to the "jat" directory and
start a Rails server with rails s (or rails start), and then use a web
browser to navigate to http://localhost:3000/jat/create to view the webform.
