-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

-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.
