+title: Separate markdown headings into pages
+date: 2025-07-27
+---
+
+Previously the [Threat Hunting](/threat-hunting/) page contained all search queries in one page separated by headings. That approach was untidy especially when conducting a web search; where after being redirected to the threat hunting page, still had to navigate to the relevant heading to locate the relevant search query.
+
+Each heading or search query is now in a [separate page](https://gitlab.com/curben/blog/-/commit/4922492c959627fe7beeb678c13e29efee79b540), so once those new pages are indexed by search engine, the search result will lead directly to a page that only contains the relevant search query, e.g. [FileFix detection](/threat-hunting/filefix-detection).
+
+```py
+from os import chdir, path
+from re import S, findall, sub
+
+chdir(path.dirname(__file__))
+
+template = """---
+title: {title}
+layout: page
+date: 2025-07-27
+---
+{content}"""
+
+with open("index.md") as f:
+    s = f.read()
+    # https://stackoverflow.com/a/66619938
+    for title, content in findall(r"(?:^|\n)##\s([^\n]+)\n(.*?)(?=\n##?\s|$)", s, S):
+        # https://stackoverflow.com/a/74260791
+        fname = sub(r"\W+", "-", title).strip("-").lower()
+        with open(fname + ".md", "w") as w:
+            w.write(template.format(title=title, content=content))
+        with open("index-new.md", "a") as a:
+            a.write(f"- [{title}]({fname})\n")
+```
