Hi there,

I think this is the plugin I need, but would you be able to explain it's behavior? Does it render posts that are marked published: false, or does it render posts that are in a separate _drafts directory? Is the post content rendered elsewhere, like on the home page, or only in the draft files? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm sorry, I'm not the author and I never really used this code (it was forked from https://gist.github.com/49630/8d35667f8969816c6f7fd1f691985a666e446f85)

As far as a non rubist (me) can tell, this script creates two thor "tasks":

• draft which takes non optional filename as parameter (and another optional parameter for the file format) that creates a file in a _draft/ dir
• publish that takes one draft in _draft/, renames it with the current date and moves it to _posts/

to be clearer: it should not "render" anything, just preparing a draft (that does not get rendered) and publishing it (so that normal jekyll behaviour will render it if "published: true")

Thanks!
