BLAZE-EDIT(1)						    BlazeBlogger Documentation						     BLAZE-EDIT(1)

NAME

       blaze-edit - edits a blog post or a page in the BlazeBlogger repository

SYNOPSIS

       blaze-edit [-fpqCPV] [-b directory] [-E editor] id

       blaze-edit -h|-v

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.

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.

       -p, --page
	   Tells blaze-edit to edit a page or pages.

       -P, --post
	   Tells blaze-edit to edit a blog post or blog posts. This is the default option.

       -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.

       -C, --no-processor
	   Disables processing a blog post or page with an external application.

       -q, --quiet
	   Disables displaying of unnecessary messages.

       -V, --verbose

	   Displays usage information and exits.

       -v, --version
	   Displays version information and exits.

ENVIRONMENT

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

EXAMPLE USAGE

       Edit a blog post in an external text editor:

	 ~]$ blaze-edit 10

       Edit a page in an external text editor:

	 ~]$ blaze-edit -p 4
