.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 <url>
.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.
