feat(plugins): add OxHugoFlavouredMarkdown (#419)
* feat(plugins): add OxHugoFlavouredMarkdown

ox-hugo is an org exporter backend that exports org files to
hugo-compatible markdown in an opinionated way. This plugin adds some
tweaks to the generated markdown to make it compatible with quartz but
the list of changes applied it is not extensive.

In the future however, we could leapfrog ox-hugo altogether and
create a quartz site directly out of org-roam files. That way we won't
have to do all the ritual dancing that this plugin has to perform.

Quartz is a static-site generator that transforms markdown content into web pages. [org-roam](https://www.orgroam.com/) is a plain-text(`org`) personal knowledge management system for [emacs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs). [ox-hugo](https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo) is org exporter backend that exports `org-mode` files to [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) compatible markdown.
Because the markdown generated by ox-hugo is not pure markdown but Hugo specific, we need to transform it to fit into Quartz. This is done by `Plugin.OxHugoFlavouredMarkdown`. Even though this [[making plugins|plugin]] was written with `ox-hugo` in mind, it should work for any Hugo specific markdown.
```typescript title="quartz.config.ts"
plugins: {
transformers: [
Plugin.FrontMatter({ delims: "+++", language: "toml" }), // if toml frontmatter
// ...
Plugin.OxHugoFlavouredMarkdown(),
Plugin.GitHubFlavoredMarkdown(),
// ...
],
},
```
## Usage
Quartz by default doesn't understand `org-roam` files as they aren't Markdown. You're responsible for using an external tool like `ox-hugo` to export the `org-roam` files as Markdown content to Quartz and managing the static assets so that they're available in the final output.
## Configuration
- Link resolution
- `wikilinks`: Whether to replace `{{ relref }}` with Quartz [[wikilinks]]
- `removePredefinedAnchor`: Whether to remove [pre-defined anchor set by ox-hugo](https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/anchors/).
- Image handling
- `replaceFigureWithMdImg`: Whether to replace `<figure/>` with `![]()`
- Formatting
- `removeHugoShortcode`: Whether to remove hugo shortcode syntax (`{{}}`)
> [!warning]
>
> While you can use `Plugin.OxHugoFlavoredMarkdown` and `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown` together, it's not recommended because it might mutate the file in unexpected ways. Use with caution.
