DESC: An Emacs Muse plugin for NanoBlogger.
FORMAT: muse
-----
BODY:
Today I wrote a small plugin to [[http://nanoblogger.sourceforge.net/][NanoBlogger]] for publishing entries written in
[[http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsMuse][Emacs Muse]] markup. Personally, I never found writing NanoBlogger entries with
[[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown]] formatting any quicker that raw HTML; probably due to the lack of an
Emacs major mode for Markdown.

The plugin is only tested with Emacs 22.0.91 (cvs) and Muse 3.02.93, but should
work with all Emacs versions supported by Muse. The Emacs Muse plugin for
NanoBlogger is: [[http://tstotts.net/pubvc.co/bash-snippets/muse.sh][.../muse.sh]]. You will need to read the comments and modify the
file accordingly. Two scripts must be created within the nanoblogger
installation directory, under plugins/.

For an example of a Muse-formatted blog entry, you can view the original data
file for this page: [[http://tstotts.net/blog/data/2006-12-26T22_26_15.txt][2006-12-26T22_26_15.txt]]. To then default to using the muse
plugin in NanoBlogger, you can change your default authoring format in
blog.conf:

<example>ENTRY_FORMAT="muse"
ARTICLE_FORMAT="muse"
</example>

To configure Emacs to automatically enable muse-mode for editing NB entries, use
something similar to the following lisp code:

<example>(autoload 'muse-mode "muse-autoloads" nil t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
             '("[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9T]*_[0-9]*_[0-9]*\\.txt\\'" . muse-mode))
</example>
