Persists post to database based on passed args and metadata from static
post file. A post can be considered "published" once this function is run.
There are two types of publishing:
Normal -- sets published_dt to the current time. This post will be
listed in the posts index and will be included in previous/next
links.
Draft -- sets published_dt to None. This post will not appear in the posts
index and will not be included in previous/next links. However,
this post can still be viewed through the slug url. This is
useful if you want to publish your post for select review
without displaying a link for everyone to see.
In both cases the post model will be updated and committed to the db. Also,
new tag models are created if a post includes tags that do not already exist
in the db.
Note: We use the post title and env defined post directory to locate which
static file to use. This is done for convenience so a user can simply type
in the name of their post instead of a full file path.
