Git for Librarians Shared Recipes

This website includes recipes shared by participants in Library Juice Academy's Git and GitHub for Librarians course.

The website uses Chowdown, a Jekyll theme that creates recipes from plain text. For example, here's a recipe in plain text. It's a broccoli beer cheese soup.

Here's that same recipe processed with Chowdown. It's a simple layout with a photo, ingredient list, and directions.

The magic comes behind-the-scenes, with recipe microdata via schema.org. This process adds special tags around each bit of content, which is what let's other apps (list coming soon) read your recipes. Data portability!
