My only concern here is that excerpts _can_ include newline characters. The blogging bundle doesn't support newlines in the header block currently. Perhaps it should, in the way that HTTP headers can have newlines, as long as the following lines are indented. The whitespace added for this should be stripped upon reposting. That would require some changes to the grammar as well though.

Sounds like we should add these changes to the default blogging.rb?
Brett, rather than give these “go to line n and add this” you should just run “diff -u oldfile newfile” or “svn diff” if you edited the checked out version.
This gives a nice patch file, where I (and pthers) can then simply do:
cd «directory with blogging.rb» patch < bretts_changes.patch
Unfortunately Mail mangles leading tabs/spaces, so you have to zip it to attach it here, but ideally one would just paste it in the letter body, then the receiver copies it to the clipboard and do:
pbpaste|patch
Much much easier than this “go to line this and do that” :)
