Did you know that NanoBlogger can multitask?

Well, technically, it's more like batch processing. Anyways, here's a list of common actions that can be combined.

1. Apply changes immediately after changing configuration.

   nb configure update all
   
   

2. Edit a new article and have it generated immediately.

   nb draft [blog_dir]articles/example.txt update main
   
   

3. Publish changes immediately after an edit or delete action.

   nb edit entry 1 publish
   nb delete entry 1 publish
   
   

4. Combining preview and publish (when "add" is not invoked).

   nb edit entry 1 preview publish
   nb draft [blog_dir]articles/example.txt update main preview publish
   
   

Some notes:

• As of this writing, both "preview" and "publish" are already ran automatically whenever the "add" action is invoked, you can use '--no-preview' and '--no-publish' to prevent this.
• You can use the "--interactive 0" option to have NanoBlogger assume the default choice for most actions.
