A post is separated into head and body by ---.

Head includes title (required) and title picture (optional), body is in markdown.

Commands

To deploy a new blog in new-created directory:

rux deploy

To build site from source to htmls:

rux build

To create a new post:

rux post

To remove all htmls rux built:

rux clean

To start a HTTP server and watch source changes:

rux serve

When you save your writings, rux can detect the changes and start rebuilding.

To run rux's server and rebuilder in the background(so we can write blog with at most one shell session.):

rux start

To generate all posts to pdf:

rux pdf

Themes

You really should manage your theme in a standalone git repository, and use it as a submodule of your blog's submodule if your blog is under git versioning too.

For instance, add theme default a submodule of your blog's repo:

$ git submodule add git://github.com/hit9/rux-theme-default.git default

If you want to modify a theme created by someone else, just fork his(or her) repo, and then modify it.

But it's 100% ok to use themes not in the submodule way.
