Yeah, you're probably right.  Though frankly I'd prefer to spend as
little time as possible on learning the tools here - I do not intend to
become a Hugo wizard, I just need it for this one project (well, maybe
two, but that's it).

I know, I write my blog in Org and then export to Oddmuse using my
custom exporter I wrote many years ago.  But it's not fully automated,
and this time I'd like to have something much more automated.  (Also,
I don't want any DHTML - I just want to have a bunch of static files so
that it's goin gto be really fast.)

Best,
