Tags

Tags is a plugin to manage the tags for your site. It lets you perform bulk operations on your posts, to manage their tags. It currently lets you perform simple operations like adding, removing, merging and sorting tags on posts. It can also suggest relevant tags based on the content of a post, leaning towards tags that already exist.

NOTE 1: Tags works by modifying the headers of your posts directly. There is no undo, and it is best to use it only if you have your posts under some form of backup.

NOTE 2: The plugin only works when run from the directory where conf.py lives.

Usage

The tags command has a simple interface. All commands take a -n, --dry-run option, to do a dry run, that lets you see the output (if any), without touching any of the files.

The usage help from the command gives details on how to use the command:

Usage:   nikola tags [-n|--dry-run] command [options] [arguments] [filename(s)]

Options:

 -a ARG, --add=ARG         Adds a list of comma-separated tags, given a list of filenames.
                               $ nikola tags --add "foo,bar" posts/*.rst
                           The above command will add foo and bar tags to all rst posts.

 -l, --list                Lists all the tags used in the site.
                           The tags are sorted alphabetically, by default.  Sorting can be
                           one of 'alpha' or 'count'.

                           The above command will replace foo, bar, and baz with 'useless'
                           in all rst posts.

                               $ nikola tags --remove "foo,bar" posts/*.rst
                           The above command will remove foo and bar tags to all rst posts.

Not sure about the language support. Works reasonably for English, need to check.
