pelican-mode

pelican-mode is a minor mode for editing pages and posts in Pelican sites. It's intended to be used alongside markdown-mode or rst-mode.

It also assumes you've set up Pelican with pelican-quickstart or something like it. In particular it assumes:

• The existence of pelicanconf.py and Makefile in some ancestor directory.
• The first component of the path (e.g. content) after that ancestor is irrelevant.
• If the next component is pages, that indicates a static page rather than a dated post.

It also enforces some parts of my preferred Pelican configuration:

• Categories are never provided (you can have one if you want, but the default interactive commands don't provide one).
• Tags are always provided.
• Slugs are explicit, and include nested subdirectories.

Quick Guide

• C-x p n - Insert a post or page header
• C-x p p - Remove draft status from a post (i.e. publish it)
• C-x p t - Update the date field in a post/page header
• C-x p h - Generate HTML output for a site (equivalent to make html)
• C-x p u - Upload a site using rsync (equivalent to make rsync_upload)

Troubleshooting

If the commands which invoke make can find the Makefile but can't find pelican, your exec-path may not be set right. Try out exec-path-from-shell.
