Systems Management 2015-16 Web Development Project.
Credits to this repo and this post for the basic design of the blog. Thanks!
This is a blogging platform with a bit of twist. It's been optimized for... memes and other similar cool stuff! It's also a regular blogging platform. Obviously.
In most blogging platforms, if you want to include a popular meme or an xkcd comic, you normally have to search for it separately and paste the URL in the image box, or go to a meme generator, make the meme, download it, upload it... well you get the idea.
Blag changes all this! In our custom flavour of Markdown, we have a snazzy new tag called [magic].
This tag will try and best fit anything between [magic] and [/magic] to what you want.
The [magic] Markdown extension was written by Radhika Ghosal.
For example,
[magic] meme: y u do dis[/magic]will change to the 'y u do dis' meme in the rendered HTML post.
When [magic] won't be able to match your keywords appropriately, it'll return the appropriate error message on the rendered HTML without breaking the application.
[magic] meme: [Line 1], [Line 2] [/magic]will return the required meme with the given lines.[magic] gif: <space-separated gif keywords> [/magic]will try and return the best-fitting gif with the given keywords.
Please check the markdown-magic repo for full set of instructions.
Please check the markdown-magic repo for the full list of supported memes.
