If I remember right, you had spaces in your original posting, but anyway: Once you have the output fields, it is up to you how many spaces you insert.

Plus, as the moderator noted, it is nearly impossible to discuss a topic where the previous entries are modified. Things are so messed up, that I suggest that you start a completely new thread, post the code you are using so far, and ask whatever needs to be asked.

       chronicle-spooler - Automatically post pre-written entries.

SYNOPSIS

ABOUT

	 chronicle-spooler is a companion scrip to the chronicle blog compiler.

	 It is designed to facilitate posting new entries automatically upon
	particular dates.  (ie. If you have ten written blog entries in a spool
	directory it will move them into place upon the date you've specified.)

DATE SPECIFICATION

	 To specify the date a particular entry should be made live you
	must add another pseudo-header to your blog entry files, as follows:

	   Title:  This is the title of the blog post
	   Date:  2nd March 2007
	   Publish: 15th April 2008
	   Tags: one, two, three, long tag

	   The text of your entry goes here.

	 In this example we know that this entry will be made live upon the
	15th April 2008, and not before.
