blogging in emacs

Posted by jmunhoz on May 22, 2006

Two weeks ago i had a talk with Alex & Berto, two emacs gurus here in Igalia, about fast editing with old and new editors. They introduced me some basic emacs commands while highlighting some emacs‘ awesome possibilities in coding. Really an amazing editor!

My limited experience in emacs don’t let me cook bacon & egss with this editor (yet!) but i got to customize my .emacs for quick blogging adding only two lines. Now, i can blog up a post while editing/coding easily.

To blog with emacs you only need a weblog supporting xml-rpc (WordPress rocks!) and this lisp package. Notice you can need some extra packages matching mt.el’s dependencies too but all information is self-contained in mt.el (installation, customization, requirements, etc.)

ohppss! … i almost forgot to say this post was blogged in emacs :)

    Really is really interesting, i send you serveral references to complete the instalation in debian.

    wget -c http://www.marginalia.org/code/mt.el
    wget -c http://www.marginalia.org/code/xml-rpc.el
    apt-get install w3-el-e21 w3-lisp-e21 elib

    With this files and packages installed and reading the mt.el file, you could blog using emacs without not many problems.

    [...] At last, thanks to Javier Muņoz for his “blogging in emacs” post, as it was very useful to me for writting this initial post using one of my favourite editors. [...]
