Thank you for using scriptogr.am. While we’re still in early beta development, we think you’ll enjoy the app. It’s designed to be fast, simple and to get the most creativity out of you.
scriptogr.am uses Markdown, a lightweight markup language, originally created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz. Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). See the Syntax page for details pertaining to Markdown’s formatting syntax. You can try it out, right now, using the online Dingus.
After connecting your Dropbox account to scriptogr.am, some necessary files and folders are added to your Dropbox at
Apps/scriptogram. First the GET_STARTED.txt text file that pretty much explains the exact same as what you’re reading now. Next, we’ve added a
posts folder. This is where you add your blog post (& page) files. These files are plain textfiles, but needs to be saved with the .md (markdown) extension like this: yourfile.md
Please use standard, non foreign filenames. Dropbox sometimes have problem syncing filenames that contains invalid HTML characters.
We’ve added a post example page (this file) there for you to get familiar with1.
The template data
All files needs to contain "front block". The front block must be the first thing in the file and takes the form of:
You can set any of the predefined variables (see below for a reference). But, the Title is required. Without the title, the system will fail.
Footnotes are the mind killer. ↩
