• [X] write elisp code to modify org-html-preamble in its own file.
  • [ ] add this file to org-babel-ingest. (how on earth does this work??)
• [X] write elisp code to reset org-html-preamble to t.

• [X] create a somewhat clean CSS file
• [ ] create at least two schemes – a lightmode/dark mode.
  • there's a concept of variables in CSS, maybe this can be for scheming colours.
• [X] change linkref colours, for visited and unvisited links. (depends heavilt on colour scheme)

CSS has classes and IDs.

IDs can be used for something very specific, while classes can be used all over the place. 

Tried creating an id called logo, not inherited from the pre-class. 
This backfired --  scanlines appeared. 
So will revert to what worked. pre.logo

• [X] choose fonts: one each of serif, sans serif, and monospace.
• [X] choose which fonts are needed for each of the pages.
• [X] add html header to deploy said fonts to each page.

tried working with some Google Fonts. It's hard to get it right, and it changes things subtly.

I am giving up on it. For now.

a setupfile imports org-specific settings from an external file. this makes it easier to create templates for composing new pages.

• [X] create a SETUPFILE
• [X] invoke SETUPFILE

getting the margins right is important. do not want the text to span too long across the screen – it needs to be just right.

after several disturbing compromises, I have arrived at the current solution. some of the places to look for these changes are:

• #content everything apart from the preamble falls into the ambit of the content ID. I have set this to a max-width of 80%. I have also set the body to a width of 90

• [X] test all the usual org-mode suspects, and modify CSS if necessary
  • [X]

    "Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now."

    <v: VERSE

         Why this sudden bewilderment, this confusion?
         (How serious people’s faces have become.)
         Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly,
         everyone going home lost in thought?
    
               Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven't come.
               And some of our men just in from the border say
             there are no barbarians any longer.
    
    
    Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?
    Those people were a kind of solution.
