How should one write articles?
Articles are fragments or full XML documents (usually HTML5). The simplest article is structured as follows:
<article data-sblg-article="1">
<header>
<h1>Title</h1>
<address>Kristaps Dzonsons</address>
<time datetime="2013-01-01">1 January, 2013</time>
</header>
<aside>
The article's <b>summary</b>
</aside>
<code>Mu.</code>
</article>
An article is any <article data-sblg-article="1"> Boolean attribute. The
article publication time is parsed from the first <time datetime=""> first
<header>.
The title is parsed from the first <hn> tag (where n = 1–4),
as is the author from the <address> tag.
These are used to order articles on the main page and title the article page.
Both of these are optional — the system will default to Untitled article
, Unknown author
, and the file's
ctime, if no information is otherwise provided.
Furthermore, the first <aside> is used for the Atom summary.
Articles are linked into a front page as follows (and omitting the surrounding HTML stuff):
<body>
<nav data-sblg-nav="1" data-sblg-navsz="1" />
<article data-sblg-article="1" />
<article data-sblg-article="1" />
</body>
Here, the <article> is replaced by ordered article data, with a little
permanent link
thing following.
The <nav> is replaced by newest-first blog posting history. The rest is up to
you.
The sblg(1) manual contains all the details.
