.Dd $Mdocdate: November 19 2020 $ .Dt DRACO 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm draco .Nd a script to convert reddit thread to Org document .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm draco .Op Fl dv .Ar .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm is a script to convert reddit thread to Org document. It accepts a url & prints the Org document to STDOUT. .Pp It'll also print comments along with their replies. It's limited by the reddit API. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl d Turn on debug messages. Debug messages will be printed to STDERR. .It Fl v Print version. .It Fl h Print this help. .Pp .Sh ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES .Bl -tag -width Ds .It FETCH_ALL Fetch all comments. This will make multiple HTTP calls to reddit. This doesn't fetch *all* the comments. .Sh NOTES Draco will add 2 spaces before every new line. Comments/Posts may contain `*' at the start of line & that confuses Org. Org might interpret it as a new heading so we add a space before every new line. .Pp All text will be wrapped at 76 characters, including 2 spaces before every new line the maximum number of columns becomes 78. .Pp The date of archive is saved under :PROPERTIES: of the post as :ARCHIVE_DATE:. .Pp Total number of top level comments is saved under :PROPERTIES: of the post as :TOTAL_TOP_LEVEL_COMMENTS:. .Sh WHY? I reference things from the web in my Journal & don't want those links to break so I save them locally. Previously I used to manually archive the whole thread, this automates it. .Sh AUTHOR .An Andinus Aq Mt andinus@nand.sh
