DESCRIPTION

       blaze-edit opens an existing blog post or a page with the specified id in an external text editor. 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.

   Special Forms
       <!-- break -->
	   A mark to delimit a blog post synopsis.

   Placeholders
       %root%
	   A relative path to the root directory of the blog.

       %home%
	   A relative path to the index page of the blog.

       %page[id]%
	   A relative path to a page with the supplied id.

       %post[id]%
	   A relative path to a blog post with the supplied id.

       %tag[name]%
	   A relative path to a tag with the supplied name.

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

       -f, --force
	   Tells blaze-edit to create an empty source file in case it does not already exist. If the core.processor option is enabled, this file
	   is used as the input to be processed by the selected application.

ENVIRONMENT

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