[Hoan Ton-That]

Journal Mode is an program which helps maintaining a journal easier.
It can be used privately and entries may be selectively published.

Journal Mode can be found at http://www.ton-that.org/journal/journal.el.
To run Journal Mode you will need Gnu Emacs or XEmacs (note that it
hasn't been tested with XEmacs) and EmacsWikiMode.

To start a journal copy journal.el to your load path and add the
following to your ~/.emacs:

  (require 'journal)

To view the journal home page just type M-x journal.  To create
entries, type M-x journal-create-entry.  Enter the title you wish to
use for this entry.  Then type the categories you wish the entry to
belong to.  Just typing "Emacs" will add the entry to "CategoryEmacs",
you may type the full name if you wish.  Type RET to end the list of
categories.

Now type the contents of your entry.  When you are done, save the
buffer.  You will notice that the contents will have been
automatically copied to each of the category pages, the day page, and
the home page.

You may edit the contents of any entry from anywhere.  Whenever a
journal buffer is saved, the contents will be updated everywhere
throughout the journal.

In the near future, remember, planner and RSS integration will be
added.  journal.el was written in a way that makes this easy.
Features such as publishing to Livejournal, Blogger, Advogato,
etc. are planned.

To keep up with the latest versions, download Gnu Arch and just type:

  tla register-archive address@hidden \
                       http://www.ton-that.org/Arch/2005
  tla get address@hidden
