SYNOPSIS¶

blaze-add -h|-v

DESCRIPTION¶

blaze-add adds a blog post or a page to the BlazeBlogger repository. If a file is supplied, it adds the content of that file, otherwise an external text editor is opened for you. Note that there are several special forms and placeholders that can be used in the text, and that will be replaced with a proper data when the blog is generated.

OPTIONS¶

-b directory, --blogdir directory

Allows you to specify a directory in which the BlazeBlogger repository is placed. The default option is a current working directory.

-E editor, --editor editor

Allows you to specify an external text editor. When supplied, this option overrides the relevant configuration option.

-t title, --title title

Allows you to specify the title of a blog post or page.

-a author, --author author

Allows you to specify the author of a blog post or page.

Unless the core.editor option is set, BlazeBlogger tries to use system-wide settings to decide which editor to use.

  Successfully added the post with ID 10.
