26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; The Blosxom publishing style publishes a tree of categorised files
29 ;; to a mirrored tree of stories to be served by blosxom.cgi or
30 ;; pyblosxom.cgi.
32 ;; Serving entries with (py)blosxom
33 ;; --------------------------------
35 ;; Each Blosxom file must include `#date yyyy-mm-dd', or optionally
36 ;; the longer `#date yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm', a title (using the `#title'
37 ;; directive) plus whatever normal content is desired.
39 ;; The date directive is not used directly by (py)blosxom or this
40 ;; program. You need to find two additional items to make use of this
41 ;; feature.
43 ;; 1. A script to gather date directives from the entire blog tree
44 ;; into a single file. The file must associate a blog entry with
45 ;; a date.
47 ;; 2. A plugin for (py)blosxom that reads this file.
49 ;; These 2 things are provided for pyblosxom in the contrib/pyblosxom
50 ;; subdirectory. `getstamps.py' provides the 1st service, while
51 ;; `hardcodedates.py' provides the second service. Eventually it is
52 ;; hoped that a blosxom plugin and script will be found/written.
54 ;; Generating a project description
55 ;; --------------------------------
57 ;; Muse-blosxom has some helper functions to make specifying
58 ;; muse-blosxom projects a lot easier. An example follows.
60 ;; (setq muse-project-alist
61 ;; `(("blog"
62 ;; (,@(muse-blosxom-project-alist-dirs "~/path/to/blog-entries")
63 ;; :default "index")
64 ;; ,@(muse-blosxom-project-alist-entry "~/path/to/blog-entries"
65 ;; "~/public_html/blog"
66 ;; "blosxom-xhtml")
67 ;; )))
69 ;; Note that we need a backtick instead of a single quote on the
70 ;; second line of this example.
72 ;; Creating new blog entries
73 ;; -------------------------
75 ;; There is a function called `muse-blosxom-new-entry' that will
76 ;; automate the process of making a new blog entry. To make use of
77 ;; it, do the following.
79 ;; - Customize `muse-blosxom-base-directory' to the location that
80 ;; your blog entries are stored.
82 ;; - Assign the `muse-blosxom-new-entry' function to a key sequence.
83 ;; I use the following code to assign this function to `C-c p l'.
85 ;; (global-set-key "\C-cpl" 'muse-blosxom-new-entry)
87 ;; - You should create your directory structure ahead of time under
88 ;; your base directory. These directories, which correspond with
89 ;; category names, may be nested.
91 ;; - When you enter this key sequence, you will be prompted for the
92 ;; category of your entry and its title. Upon entering this
93 ;; information, a new file will be created that corresponds with
94 ;; the title, but in lowercase letters and having special
95 ;; characters converted to underscores. The title and date
96 ;; directives will be inserted automatically.
98 ;;; Contributors:
100 ;; Gary Vaughan (gary AT gnu DOT org) is the original author of
101 ;; `emacs-wiki-blosxom.el', which is the ancestor of this file.
103 ;; Brad Collins (brad AT chenla DOT org) ported this file to Muse.
105 ;; Michael Olson (mwolson AT gnu DOT org) further adapted this file to
106 ;; Muse and continues to maintain it.
