25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; The Blosxom publishing style publishes a tree of categorised files
28 ;; to a mirrored tree of stories to be served by blosxom.cgi or
29 ;; pyblosxom.cgi.
30 ;;
31 ;; Serving entries with (py)blosxom
32 ;; --------------------------------
33 ;;
34 ;; Each Blosxom file must include `#date yyyy-mm-dd', or optionally
35 ;; the longer `#date yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm', a title (using the `#title'
36 ;; directive) plus whatever normal content is desired.
37 ;;
38 ;; The date directive is not used directly by (py)blosxom or this
39 ;; program. You need to find two additional items to make use of this
40 ;; feature.
41 ;;
42 ;; 1. A script to gather date directives from the entire blog tree
43 ;; into a single file. The file must associate a blog entry with
44 ;; a date.
45 ;;
46 ;; 2. A plugin for (py)blosxom that reads this file.
47 ;;
48 ;; These 2 things are provided for pyblosxom in the contrib/pyblosxom
49 ;; subdirectory. `getstamps.py' provides the 1st service, while
50 ;; `hardcodedates.py' provides the second service. Eventually it is
51 ;; hoped that a blosxom plugin and script will be found/written.
52 ;;
53 ;; Generating a Muse project entry
54 ;; -------------------------------
55 ;;
56 ;; Muse-blosxom has some helper functions to make specifying
57 ;; muse-blosxom projects a lot easier. An example follows.
58 ;;
59 ;; (setq muse-project-alist
60 ;; `(("blog"
61 ;; (,@(muse-project-alist-dirs "~/path/to/blog-entries")
62 ;; :default "index")
63 ;; ,@(muse-project-alist-styles "~/path/to/blog-entries"
64 ;; "~/public_html/blog"
65 ;; "blosxom-xhtml")
66 ;; )))
67 ;;
68 ;; Note that we need a backtick instead of a single quote on the
69 ;; second line of this example.
70 ;;
71 ;; Creating new blog entries
72 ;; -------------------------
73 ;;
74 ;; There is a function called `muse-blosxom-new-entry' that will
75 ;; automate the process of making a new blog entry. To make use of
76 ;; it, do the following.
77 ;;
78 ;; - Customize `muse-blosxom-base-directory' to the location that
79 ;; your blog entries are stored.
80 ;;
81 ;; - Assign the `muse-blosxom-new-entry' function to a key sequence.
82 ;; I use the following code to assign this function to `C-c p l'.
83 ;;
84 ;; (global-set-key "\C-cpl" 'muse-blosxom-new-entry)
85 ;;
86 ;; - You should create your directory structure ahead of time under
87 ;; your base directory. These directories, which correspond with
88 ;; category names, may be nested.
89 ;;
90 ;; - When you enter this key sequence, you will be prompted for the
91 ;; category of your entry and its title. Upon entering this
92 ;; information, a new file will be created that corresponds with
93 ;; the title, but in lowercase letters and having special
94 ;; characters converted to underscores. The title and date
95 ;; directives will be inserted automatically.
96 ;;
97 ;; Using tags
98 ;; ----------
99 ;;
100 ;; If you wish to keep all of your blog entries in one directory and
101 ;; use tags to classify your entries, set `muse-blosxom-use-tags' to
102 ;; non-nil.
103 ;;
104 ;; For this to work, you will need to be using the PyBlosxom plugin at
105 ;; http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/blog/registry/meta/Tags.
