[Discussion] Will Gatsby support org-mode?

[jack2gs]

Hi guys,

Could anyone tell me if Gatsby will support org-mode? Or if any advice?

Thanks,
Jack

Could you outline what's needed to support Org mode? Lots of emacs users using Gatsby so definitely open to the idea as well as to PRs if it's fairly straightforward

Hi @calcsam,

Actually, I want to know if we could support to convert org-mode files to html's, as MD is supported by default. I usually use org-mode to write articles. Do we have such kind of plugin hexo-renderer-org?

Thanks,
Jack

Ah, got it. To clarify, Gatsby current has this functionality in an official plugin called Gatsby-transformer-remark. In order to replicate this for org-mode files, you'd want to create another plugin called gatsby-transformer-org-mode. Right now such a plugin does not exist.

Creating one would be fairly straightforward -- you'd want to use the structure of gatsby-transformer-remark but use a tool that ported org-mode into HTML (or into markdown and then use the markdown transform code). Unclear on a quick search if a specific tool exists (in Node.js) but there's a Node port of pandoc which should work.

yes, I tried to find a tool for converting org-mode to html, but failed. Maybe we can convert it to MD, then use gatsby-transformer-remark.

[calcsam]

Yes pandoc should do that

Cool

A pandoc Gatsby transformer would be 🔥🔥🔥
