## Editing pages
If you're just here to contribute a content change, read this section.
All pages that are produced by markdown
[are here](https://github.com/chrisdone/hl/tree/master/static/markdown). To
contribute changes simply fork this repo and open a pull request. It
will be merged and redeployed in short order.
If you want to edit a page which has some custom code in it, you'll
want to see the next sections for building and running
instructions. Maybe also take a look at [architecture](#architecture).
If you want to include Haskell code samples in markdown, use:
``` haskell
main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"
```
If you want to include Haskell code samples in Haskell code pages,
use:
``` haskell
haskellPre "main = print 123"
haskellCode "peyton `simon` jones"
```
Pre for `<pre>` block, code for `<code>` span snippet.
## Building
Clone the repo:
$ git clone git@github.com:chrisdone/hl.git
You need one of these GHC versions:
* GHC 7.6
* GHC 7.8
Create an [hsenv](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hsenv):
$ cd hl
$ hsenv
$ source .hsenv/bin/activate
You need the right package set. Add the following to your
`.hsenv/cabal/config`, replacing the Hackage reference:
* If you have GHC 7.6:
remote-repo: stackage:http://www.stackage.org/stackage/1ba546f8f281c02d135ec3babd86516f726b4453
* If you have GHC 7.8:
remote-repo: stackage:http://www.stackage.org/stackage/160b97ce7459820d4de720d6a867b85297ab4351
Now just run:
$ sh scripts/pull-build
To do the above cabal update, submodule, install, etc.
Done!
## Running
It runs at: http://localhost:1990/
Manually running the binary:
$ dist/build/hl/hl
Running from inside GHCi:
> :l DevelMain
> DevelMain.update
Run this every time you want to update the web handler in-place, as in
[this demo](https://github.com/chrisdone/ghci-reload-demo).
If you use Emacs, you can just bind it to a key:
``` lisp
(define-key html-mode-map [f12] 'haskell-process-reload-devel-main)
```
Just hit f12 to recompile and restart.
## Architecture
It uses Yesod and an MVC organization.
* HL.M.* -- [models](https://github.com/chrisdone/hl/tree/master/src/HL/M)
* HL.V.* -- [views](https://github.com/chrisdone/hl/tree/master/src/HL/V)
* HL.C.* -- [controllers](https://github.com/chrisdone/hl/tree/master/src/HL/C)
Templates are written in [senza](https://github.com/chrisdone/senza),
a convenience wrapper to blaze-html. There is presently no database.
## Style
I use [this style](https://github.com/chrisdone/haskell-style-guide)
for code. You don't have to use this style, I can reformat patches as
they come in.
