The Lua Community Blog

More info: Opening Post

##Yay, awesome, what is this blog for? Yes, that's an important question! Please notice that we don't have any affilitation with the official Lua team, but we intend to be a central hub for distributing news, technical posts and general discussions on everything related to Lua. Or, as the name says, a Lua space. Subscribe to our RSS feed if you wish to be notified when there's new content.

##Becoming a writer

All posts are written in markdown and are contained in our git repository. Inside the posts directory you'll find one or multiple other directories which are the categories of our posts. This one, for example, is in general.

Steps to writing a blog post:

• Fork our git repository
• Write your post using the markdown syntax
• Put it in one of the category directories inside posts or create a new one
  • The md file should be named in the same way you wish the url to be + .md
  • The convention is all lower case separating words by hyphens Ex.: blog-opening-and-contribution-guide.md
• Edit the file posts_meta.lua adding an entry for your post and your author details
  • Just follow the pattern of the other entries already there :)
• Commit and make a pull request
• By making a pull request you certify that you are sharing your post and allowing it to be published here
  • We will never modify your original post unless for typo fixes or if you require to do so
  • You'll still own all the copyrights of your post

This blogs support syntax highlight provided by highlight.js. Highlight.js auto-detects the programming language. Code blocks should be written in markdown using 4 spaces or a tab (+ the regular code indentation). Example:

local function welcome_to_luaspace()
	print("You are awesome!")
end
