« vgaxy -- create XY scope displays with your VGA card | Newest entries | Commandline tools for Æther » As much as I like Æther, it does bug me a little that I'm forced to do the editing of the pages in the substandard "TEXTAREA" of the browser. Well, today I'm playing with a Python script, using ClientForms, which may make that a thing of the past. It knows how to visit the "edit" page of the site and get the old text, throws it into a real editor (vim), and each time the buffer is written it loads the "preview" page. If I'm satisfied, I can click "Save changes". This entry is posted from my new script, which I hope to put online after I work out a few bugs. One problem I anticipate is that it will only be able to edit comparatively short pages, because the entire page text is passed on the browser commandline. Instead I could write a local HTML file that will redirect to the real page. But this is likely to work for pages of a "reasonable" length. Next I'll be adding a commandline way to upload files to pages.
