TIL Python has a built-in text wrapping module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, see yesterday's blog post announcing Z-Profile: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2026/10/07/introducing-zprofile-a-simple-website.html

Also put the code for the Site Builder app (such as it is) in a repo: https://github.com/wragge/z-profile-builder

Adding a few things to the list of possible Z-Profile enhancements: https://github.com/wragge/z-profile/issues

Here it is! Introducing Z-Profile – a simple website builder for researchers: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2026/10/07/introducing-zprofile-a-simple-website.html

No code, no new software – all you need is @zotero & somewhere to host your site. Please share! #histodons
