Template Engine

markscribe uses Go's powerful template engine. You can find its documentation here: https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/

Template Helpers

markscribe comes with a few handy template helpers:

To format timestamps, call humanize:

{{humanize .Timestamp}}

To reverse the order of a slice, call reverse:

{{reverse (rss "https://domain.tld/feed.xml" 5)}}

GitHub Authentication

In order to access some of GitHub's API, markscribe requires you to provide a valid GitHub token in an environment variable called GITHUB_TOKEN. You can create a new token by going to your profile settings:

Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Generate new token

GoodReads API key

In order to access some of GoodReads' API, markscribe requires you to provide a valid GoodReads key in an environment variable called GOODREADS_TOKEN. You can create a new token by going here. Then you need to go to your repository and add it, Settings -> Secrets -> New secret. You also need to set your GoodReads user ID in your secrets as GOODREADS_USER_ID.
