Re: Entry Format

You want to build an entryparser and connect it to a file extension like 
".nb" (your initials) or something similarly unique.

However, you can do everything it appears you're trying to do right now 
with the existing default entry parser.  It supports "meta-data".  So your 
entry below would look like this:

Test Entry
#Date 2004-08-24
#Renderer Plain
#Etc Blah
<p>This is a test pyblosxom entry</p>


Having said that, there are some minor problems.  Currently we don't 
support storing the mtime in the entry itself.  That's something you'll 
have to do with another plugin and it gets complex.  Check the recent 
mailing list archives for ideas on how to deal with that issue.

Also, you can't (and shouldn't be) switching the renderer for each entry. 
I'm guessing you might mean template, in which case you can do:

#template_name name

(where "name" is replaced by another template name other than story [don't 
do the flavour extension]) and that'll set the template for that specific 
entry.

Also, if you have the comments plugin installed, you can do:

#nocomments yes

and that'll prevent people from adding comments to that entry.

Hope that helps--
