$ md2blog --help
Options:
  -c, --clean         Clean output directory before processing
  -d, --drafts        Include drafts in output
  -s, --serve         Serve web site, with automatic reloading
  -w, --watch         Watch for changes and rebuild automatically
  -i, --input <dir>   Input directory (default: "content")
  -o, --output <dir>  Output directory (default: "out")
  --copyright         Display open source software copyright notices

Note that --serve implies --watch. Also note that --serve does not affect the build output (the automatic reloading code is injected by the test web server, and is not present in the files on disk).

Here are some recommended command lines:
