   1 pelican-mode is an Emacs minor mode for editing pages and posts in
   2 [Pelican][] sites.
   3
   4 It's intended to be used alongside [markdown-mode][] or [rst-mode][].
   5 It also assumes you've set up Pelican with `pelican-quickstart` or
   6 something like it. In particular it assumes:
   7
   8  * The existence of `pelicanconf.py` and `Makefile` in some ancestor
   9    directory.
  10  * The first component of the path (e.g. `content`) after that
  11    ancestor is irrelevant.
  12  * If the next component is `pages`, that indicates a static page
  13    rather than a dated post.
  14
  15
  16 ## Quick Guide
  17
  18 * `C-c P n` - Insert a post or page header
  19 * `C-c P p` - Remove draft status from a post (i.e. publish it)
  20 * `C-c P t` - Update the date field in a post/page header
  21 * `C-c P h` - Generate HTML output for a site (equivalent to `make html`)
  22 * `C-c P u` - Upload a site using rsync (equivalent to `make rsync_upload`)
  23
  24
  25 ## Troubleshooting
  26
  27 If the commands which invoke `make` can find the Makefile but can't
  28 find `pelican`, your `exec-path` may not be set right. Try out
  29 [exec-path-from-shell][].
