About itzpapa

What is itzpapa

A blog template that lets you publish Markdown articles written in Obsidian directly as a website. You can use Obsidian-specific syntax like WikiLinks and Callouts as-is, allowing you to run a blog without changing your writing environment.

Origin of the Name

Itzpapalotl
Itzpapalotl

Named after the goddess from Aztec mythology. In Nahuatl, it means "Obsidian Butterfly" - combining "ītztli" (obsidian) and "pāpālotl" (butterfly).

The transformation from local writing environment to web publication. We liken this conversion to "a butterfly born from obsidian."
