Introducing the LiveBlog-plugin-indexer gem

require 'liveblog'
require 'liveblog-plugin-dxtags'
require 'liveblog-plugin-indexer'
    
lb = LiveBlog.new config: 'http://www.jamesrobertson.eu/liveblog/liveblog.conf'

The above code demonstrates how the liveblog-plugin-indexer gem is declared relative to the LiveBlog gem as well as other liveblog plugins.

Here's the config file used:

dir: /home/james/jamesrobertson.eu/liveblog/
urlbase: https://www.jamesrobertson.eu/liveblog/
edit_url: http://a1.jamesrobertson.eu/do/liveblog/edit
css_url: /liveblog/liveblog.css
xsl_path: /home/james/jamesrobertson.eu/liveblog/liveblog.xsl
xsl_url: /liveblog/liveblog.xsl
bannertext: "Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night." William Blake
rss_title: James Robertson's LiveBlog

plugins:
  DxTags:
    settings:
      xslt_path: /xsl/dxlinks.xsl
  Indexer:
    word_index: words_indexed.json
    url_index: urls_indexed.json

Notes:

When the Liveblog#initialize method is executed it intialiases the plugins, and it triggers the plugin's on_new_day() method if the index.xml file for the current day does not exist.
Plugins used with the LiveBlog gem are optional, yet for completeness I've included what I'm currently using in my setup.
