About Plaster

This is a paste service application for the Radiance environment. It provides an editor and syntax highlighting for a variety of languages by using CodeMirror. The main features of this application are also subject of the Radiance tutorial where you'll learn how to build Plaster step by step.

Features

• Public, unlisted, and private pastes
• Password protection for pastes
• Syntax highlighting and advanced code editing
• Public and per-user paste listing
• Paste annotations and editing
• Complete REST API

Emacs integration

Using the plaster.el, you can manage pastes on Plaster directly within Emacs:

• plaster-login
  If you have a plaster account, use this to log yourself in.
• plaster-visit
  Opens an existing paste in a buffer
• plaster-paste-buffer
  Pastes the current buffer to a new paste
• plaster-paste-region
  Pastes the current region to a new paste
• plaster-new
  Opens a new buffer for a new paste
• plaster-annotate
  Create an annotation for the current paste (C-x C-a)
• plaster-save
  Save the current buffer as a paste (C-x C-s)
• plaster-delete
  Delete the current buffer's paste (C-x C-k)

The keybindings are for when you're in a buffer with plaster-mode active. When you create a new paste, the URL is automatically placed into your kill-ring.

You can also use the customize-group plaster to edit some settings:

• plaster-root
  The root URL for the Plaster server if you're hosting your own instance.
• plaster-session-token
  The token for the Radiance session that authenticates you.
• plaster-type-mode-map
  A map that decides which Emacs mode to use for which paste types.
