## wikiannounce
|
|
|
|
One thing I use ikiwiki for is the web pages for software projects I
|
|
maintain. Each of my projects has a news page with an announcements feed,
|
|
and to automatically update this when I release a new version, generating
|
|
an announcement from the debian/changelog and debian/NEWS files, I use a
|
|
[wikiannounce](http://svn.kitenet.net/trunk/bin/wikiannounce) program. It's
|
|
somewhat specific to dealing with Debian packages, and uses a special
|
|
`announcedir` target in debian/rules, but the general idea could be useful.

## blog script
|
|
|
|
I should mention that I also have a
|
|
[blog](http://svn.kitenet.net/trunk/bin/blog) program that I use to
|
|
write blog posts in a text editor. The first line I enter is used as the
|
|
title, and it automatically comes up with a unique page name based on the
|
|
title and handles all the details of posting to my blog. --[[Joey]]

## using the web interface with a real text editor
|
|
|
|
If you use Firefox or Iceweasel, the [It's All
|
|
Text](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125) extension allows
|
|
you to use a real text editor like Emacs or Vim to edit the contents of text
|
|
areas. This allows you to edit ikiwiki pages with a real text editor through
|
|
the ikiwiki web interface, rather than only with direct commit
|
|
access. --[[JoshTriplett]] |
