Writing articles

Articles by default go into articles directory.

File info

or

20101017T14:02:00-article.pod

Where timestamp tells us when the article was created. Modified time is retrieved automatically from mtime. Filename is the article's permalink url. Extension is article's format.

Content

Title: My first article
Tags: blog, internet

Welcome!

[cut] Read more

This is my first article. It is in C<pod> format. And I can use all kind of
B<tags>.

Every article should have metadata. Metadata ends with an empty line. If there is a [cut] tag, article will be splitted into preview and content parts. preview is shown when a) article list is requested, b) rss.

Depending on file format (file extention, remember?) the content is parsed with an appropriate parser. POD format is available by default. Markdown format is available when Text::Markdown is installed. Other formats are available as plugins.

Enabling/disabling comments

Comments can be disabled everywhere by setting comments_enabled to false in configuration file:

{
    ...
    "comments_enabled" : false,
    ...
}

Or comments can be disabled on per article:

Title: Article with no comments allowed
Comments: false
