using ox-hugo for publishing my org-roam digital garden

https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/

Seems like a pretty long-lived and stable option for org-mode publishing.

Issues

Prefers one post per org subtree

Fair enough, but that's not how org-roam works. Hopefully having one post per org file doesn't equate to being a second class citizen in ox-hugo.

hugo frontmatter properties

Turns out that that is a problem. You seem to need to manage various #+hugo_ properties per file. That's fine if you have one file. Not if you've got over 4000 files.

That said, it has some org-roam files in its test site, and these don't seem to have hugo front matter in them. Is it done with dir-locals? https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/tree/main/test/site/content-org/org-roam

Maybe not: https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo/issues/101

Huh. Should give it a whirl to see for myself, but not now.
