pppadump
=========
Tool to help manage periodic publishing of [etherpads](http://etherpad.org/) to static files, preserving metadata.
Bunch of scripts to extract documents from an [etherpad](http://etherpad.org/) instance and produce templated static files.
Forked from [constant](https://constantvzw.org/site/)'s [active archives](http://activearchives.org/wiki/Main_Page) [etherdump](https://gitlab.constantvzw.org/aa/etherdump) mixed with logic devised for [varia](https://varia.zone)'s [etherpump](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/etherpump) project

Cookbook
========================
Using pppadump to migrate from one etherpad instance to another
------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir instance1 && cd instance1
pppadump init
pppadump pull --html --meta
(cd ..)
mkdir instance2 && cd instance2
pppadump init
pppadump pushhtml --basepath ../instance1 ../instance1/p/*.meta.json
NB: sethtml/pushhtml seems to only work on the server itself, ie using API url such as localhost:9001.
NB: This command indescriminantly clobbers pads in instance2 with the HTML of the dumped versions from instance1.
This technique can be used to "reset" the database of a pad by recreating pads (without their history or editor info/colors) in a fresh database.
Magicwords
=================
Following the suggestions of sister project/friendly fork [etherpump](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/etherpump/), the magic word mechanism has been expanded (from the inital single hard coded \_\_NOPUBLISH__ value) to and generalized to allow a the use of text markers in the source text to control various options, including options for use in preprocessing and translation of markdown using pandoc.
