Lot's to do today but then there's the week end on the horizon. I'll probably spend it in the hospital sitting with Pam. It looks like now she'll be there over the weekend. I really need to start posting these kinds of things on LJ and use this for technical discussions. Or not. We'll have to see how this pans out. Back to work...

OPML Macro cheat sheet Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I can't figure out how to link to my Instant Outliner outline! Here is the text of my OPML blog macro cheat sheet as it stands now.

 Macros are a way of defining content with a label associated with it so that you can insert the label in your template and the associated content will be substituted for the label. All OPML macros take the form <%macroName%> where macroName is replaced by the actual name of the macro. Macros are currently only expanded in the template but I hope that Dave will eventually allow us to use macros in our content. Here is a table of known macros and what they expand to.

 
MacroSubstitution
<%title%>The title of your blog.
<%headerGraphic%>Your header graphic.
<%body%>The contents of your OPML blog outline. This macro probably only makes sense in the template.
<%whenLastModified%>The date and time that you last udated your blog.
<%calendar%>A calendar complete with links to your posts on each date when a post exists.
<%xmlIcon%>A link to the RSS feed for your blog.
<%blogroll%>The contents of your OPML blogroll file.

I notice that if I want a top level item to act like a headline, it must have at least one element under it. This is all probably documented somewhere (http://support.opml.org/ ?), but dammit Jim, I'm a hacker, not a little girly document reader :-).
