I need a more complex post to test how this blog format will work out. We'll include samples of various Spartan content types.
This is the quote of the day. I should have looked up some pithy quote by somebody more interesting than me, but I didn't. -- me
Here is the current version of the "bp" blog post helper script.
#!/usr/bin/bash
# bp - a Spartan blog helper to create a new blog post
# Where is the blog directory?
blogdir=~/public_spartan/blog
fname=$(date -Iminutes) # get current date and time
cdate="${fname/T/ }" # capture file creation date for potential use in the post text
fname="${fname%-*}.gmi" # create a name for the file.
# Create the new file.
printf "# new\n\ntext\n\nš
c: %s āļø e: \ntags: #new\n" "${cdate%-*}" >> "$blogdir/$fname"
# Verify that the file was created? No, if the editor opens an empty file it will be obvious something is wrong.
echo "New post is at: $blogdir/$fname" # This makes it easy to re-edit the file if you need to.
# Edit the new post
"$EDITOR" "$blogdir/$fname" # ToDo: check whether $EDITOR is set?
# Display the result so you can review it for errors.
cat "$blogdir/$fname"
There is not a table type included in gemtext, but preformatted text can be used to display tabular data. I don't have a good sample data table already built so here is a scrap from another document that I can quickly paste in.

Of course we should include a list.
My, what a pitiful list that was.
There must a level3 heading:
And here it is.
I think we're done here, for now.
Now it is time to test, test, test using the varios Spartan clients I have installed. So far, I am satisfied with what I'm seeing in both GUI and text-mode clients. Once I resolve the file-name, date-sorted index list issue (discussed in my Spartan [blog] working document) I think it's ready for regular use.
