Update date in readme.
Give a nicer name to scpaste-region buffers
Update URL
This will place an HTML copy of a buffer on the web on a server to which the user has SSH access.
It's similar in purpose to services such as Gist
or Pastebin, but it's much simpler since it
assumes the user has an account on a publicly-accessible HTTP
server. It uses scp as its transport and uses Emacs' font-lock as
its syntax highlighter instead of relying on a third-party syntax
highlighter for which individual language support must be added
one-by-one.
Uses the htmlize library if present; falls back to the built-in htmlfontify otherwise.
You'll need to configure your destination:
(setq scpaste-http-destination "https://p.hagelb.org"
scpaste-scp-destination "p.hagelb.org:p.hagelb.org")
scpaste-scp-destination should be an scp-accessible directory that
is also served over HTTP. scpaste-http-destination should be the URL
that corresponds to that directory.
Optionally you can set the displayed name and where it should link to:
(setq scpaste-user-name "Technomancy"
scpaste-user-address "https://technomancy.us/")
You must set up SSH keys for your destination with ssh-agent to
avoid having to enter your password once for each paste. Also be sure
the key of the host referenced in scpaste-scp-destination is in your
known hosts file--scpaste will not prompt you to add it but will
simply hang.
M-x scpaste, (or scpaste-region) enter a name, and press
return. The name will be incorporated into the URL by escaping it and
adding it to the end of scpaste-http-destination. The URL for the
pasted file will be pushed onto the kill ring.
Two files will be uploaded: the HTML version as well as the raw version. The HTML version simply has ".html" on the end of the name, and it includes a link to the raw version at the bottom.
You can autogenerate a splash page that gets uploaded as index.html
in scpaste-http-destination by invoking M-x scpaste-index. This
will upload an explanation as well as a listing of existing
pastes. If a paste's filename includes "private" it will be skipped.
