*** NOTE that esbu will create needed folders if they don't exist upon execution in the directory you run it in, so make sure you already have templates folder when you run it, otherwise an empty template folder will be created which will break things.
you can use esbu new newentry to start editing newentry.md after editing it you can either add it to entry queue or make it a draft.
You can do esbu finalize to finalize every .md file in src(except for drafts).
finalizing basically means all .md files in src will be turned to .html files, rss, summary and blog pages will be also be generated.
when finalizing, previous entries that have been finalized before will also be ignored,
for example if you had entry1.md and finalized it yesterday, that means that if you create entry2.md today and finalize both entry1.md and entry2.md, entry1.md will not be finalized again.
You need to have all the files that are in the templates folder, Make sure you edit templates to suit your own blog, You can practically change everything in templates EXCEPT from strings that are in this %FORMAT%, they are used in esbu in order to generate pages so don't delete/change them.
You can put <!---height=X H--> where X is pixels, after a photo in a markdown file and esbu will maintain the mentioned size in the html file as well.
example:
 <!---height=350 H--->will be :
<p><img src="image.jpg" alt="" style="width:100%;height:auto';max-width:350px" ></p>
and thus maintaining the size mentioned. You can deactiate this by uncommenting the second markdown line in finalize function.
