1. PREFACE(READ THIS)

Might be a little long but trust me its worth it pls read ts
TLDR: Skip to 1.2, Skip to 2.0 If you want to read the notes, but please read ts

1.1. So right now I have this in my org-publish-project-alist

you dont need to worry about this

  ("org-notes"
         :base-directory "~/roam/"
         ...
         :auto-sitemap t
         :with-author "[REDACTED]"
         :with-creator t
         :html-preamble ,commonplace/preamble
                      :html-head-include-scripts nil
                      "... "
                      ...
         :sitemap-title "Recent Changes"
         ...
         )
("school-geography-notes"
         :base-directory "~/roam/school/"
         :publishing-directory "~/Notes/CGC1W/"
         :publishing-function org-latex-publish-to-pdf
         :include ,geo-files

         :exclude ".*"   ;; exclude everything unless explicitly included
         :completion-function (lambda (project) (message "PDFs have been generated for school geography notes"))
         :makeindex t)

Which basically means that I export my notes twice, once with

org-publish-html

and another with

org-publish-latex-pdf

Exporting/publishing them with html is much faster than latex because it uses Emacs's built-in processor without relying on pdflatex to generate a pdf twice. Not to mention that its rather hard to copy these notes onto a service like google docs. Its also quite a pain for me to sync them, I have to use rsync which takes another 10 minutes and was a pain to setup on my server.

1.2. So what do you do?

My notes(not only geography, also my journal) are all stored on https:///tweetor-garden.pages.dev and its mirror (blocked on the school net) https://garden.tweetor.org. Its a different format, but i dont publish all my notes to the CDL thingy because of their size(I have gathered over 600 notes over the course of the past year) and the pain of updating

I seriously recommend you use my website

1.3. Will I continue publishing these

Yes, but they will not be updated daily, i have set the cron job to run weekly

2. Actual notes

We did the demo today
I let 'kylie' copy off me. She did not thank me, might snitch later. TODO: Find out her last name

2.1. Rattlesnake point

Yesterday Mr.Fox took a nature walk. He went to rattlesnake point
It gets the name "rattlesnake" because of the winding of the hike trail
- This is a popular point for rock-climbers
- There is a sign on the cliff there reffering suicidal people not to kts

2.2. Niagara escarpment

The Niagara Escarpment is an approximately 1,050-kilometre-long (650-mile) discontinuous, arc-shaped but generally northward-facing escarpment, or cuesta, in Canada and the United States. The escarpment begins south of Lake Ontario and circumscribes the top of the Great Lakes Basin running from New York through Ontario, Michigan, and Wisconsin —Wikipedia, Sep 29, 2025
