P  SYNOPSIS
P        lifeograph [--force-welcome] [--open, o  _DIARY_] [--purge-conf]
P 
P  OPTIONS
P        *--force-welcome*
P               Forces  program  to  show  the  welcome screen. Normally welcome
P               screen is only shown on the first run of Lifeograph.
P 
P        *--open*, *-o*  _DIARY_
P               Sets the diary file to be opened. If  the  diary  is  encrypted,
P               Lifeograph starts with a password prompt.
P 
P        *--ignore-locks*
P               Enables  opening locked diary files. Beware that if a diary file
P               is locked it is probably being edited  by  another  instance  of
P               Lifeograph or the last session with it did not finish correctly.
P               In either case the lock file may contain unsaved changes.

P Backup Files
P 
P Lifeograph saves two backup files. Both are saved in the same directory as the diary file. Their names are <DIARYNAME>.~LOCK~ and <DIARYNAME>.~previousversion~.
P The first one is saved twice a minute during an editing session and contains all unsaved changes up to that time. It is, however, deleted after logging out successfully.
P The second one is saved at log-out and is simply a backup of the diary before the last editing session.
P 
P  recovery after crashes
P <DIARYNAME>.~LOCK~ is useful to recover unsaved changes after crashes. When, due to a crash or any other reason, a Lifeograph session ends improperly the .~LOCK~ file will not be removed. In that case, Lifeograph will refuse to open the original diary again complaining that it is locked.
P If the presence of the lock is due to quitting improperly (rather than the file's being open in another instance of Lifeograph) you can rename the lock file and open it with Lifeograph to recover the unsaved changes. If you are sure that you don't want to restore the changes you can simply delete the lock file and open the original diary.
P 
P <DIARYNAME>.~previousversion~ can be used to revert changes made in the last editing session.

P Text Formatting
P 
P  Heading (Entry title)
P First paragraph of an entry (i. e. any text before the first line break) is considered the title rendered in heading style. Other formats (such as highlight) cannot be used within entry titles nor are comments. Color of heading is defined by  associated theme.
P 
P  Subheading
P Paragraphs starting with a single space (" ") are styled as subheading. Other formats and comments can be used normally in subheadings however using bold will make no difference as subheading style is already bold. Color of subheading comes from  associated theme.
P 
P  Markup chars
P Lifeograph has a text formatting system reminiscent of wiki software i.e. certain characters are used to denote different text styles. These are called _markup characters_.
P 
P *bold*: asterisk *
P 
P _italic_: underscore _
P 
P =strike-through=: equal sign =
P 
P #Highlight#: hash #
P 
P 	• Markup characters are normally hidden. They are only shown when input cursor is placed adjacent to their location.
P 	• Markup characters should be inserted at the beginning and end of the part of the text you want to apply formatting
P 	• Opening markup characters must came after a *separator* but mustn't be followed by one. (Separator is a character to separate words such as space or tab.)
P 	• Closing markup characters mustn't come after a separator
P 	• Highlight color is defined by entry theme.

P Lists in Entries
P 
P If you indent the line, either by Alt-I or <tab>, you can create different kinds of lists depending on the first character(s) you type:
P 
P     Bulleted lists by typing '*'.
P     Enumerated lists by typing a number followed by '.', ')', or '-'.
P     Checklists by typing '[]'.
P 
P  Bulleted lists
P 
P 	• Item 1
P 	• Item 2
P 
P 
P 
P  Checklists
P Lifeograph has basic checklist support. Each checklist item may have one of the three possible states:
P 
P 	☐ not finished
P 	☑ finished
P 	☒ canceled
P 
P State of an item can be changed by clicking on the check box of it.
P 
P  Numbered lists
P 
P 	1- item 1
P 	2- item 2
P 	3- item 3

P Basically there are two types of links: automatic and manual.

P http://launchpad.net/lifeograph
P 
P  Manual links

P 
P <target	label>
P 
P e.g.:
P <2012.03.31	his birth day>
P .	<2012.03.31	his birth day>

This is useful for having arbitrarily sized entry folders and, starting with 0.7.X series, doing some comparisons between phases of life.
