Articles by default go into C directory.

Article consists of file information and content with meta data.

=head3 Content

Title: My first article
Tags: blog, internet

Welcome!

[cut] Read more

This is my first article. It is in C<pod> format. And I can use all kind of
B<tags>.

Every article should have metadata. Metadata ends with an empty line. If there is a C<[cut]> tag, article will be splitted into C and C parts. C is shown when a) article list is requested, b) rss.

Depending on file format (file extention, remember?) the content is parsed with an appropriate parser. POD format is available by default. Markdown format is available when LText::Markdown is installed. Other formats are available as plugins.

=head2 Enabling/disabling comments

Comments can be disabled everywhere by setting C<comments_enabled> to C in configuration file:

{

    "comments_enabled" : false,
