Hugo like archetypes about fornax HOT 4 OPEN

This is interesting - Fornax itself is just an engine, all generation logic is in loaders and generators. So I'm not sure if it should add any hardcoded file templates - those may work for built-in blog template but may be totally useless when someone customizes their loaders.

A more interesting idea would be giving templates (like our blog template) a possibility of defining items that could be generated. So for example in Saturn repo I could add how-to or explanation item template and then use that in this particular repo.

I do believe that’s how it’s implemented in Hugo. The archetypes are basically a file within a template that the cli duplicates. It would also probably be good to introduce an option to do something like fornax new $template

I've dealt with this using a new-post script which I invoke with dotnet fsi new-post.fsx Some interesting new post - it seems to me that there is value in having a built in template solution if only because I felt the need to roll my own. More so if you want to broaden use

Yeah, seems like having a way for fornax to invoke a script similar to the one @recumbent wrote might be a good way to solve this? Or maybe invoking a script from fsi is good enough and it doesn't need to be put in fornax itself, perhaps just provide a example script with the template?
