$ pastrybox from 21-10-2012 to 21-11-2012 print
$ pastrybox baker erin-kissane print
...

To print all the content published on the The Pastry Box, just do:

$ pastrybox print

To extract our database in a JSON format, just do:

$ pastrybox

PDF files are always created in the current working directory.

File names

By default, a .pdf file is named based on the following scheme: pastrybox-$timestamp.pdf

You can override this behavior by specifying your own file name:

$ pastrybox today print file "today.pdf"
$ pastrybox day 21-10-2012 print file super-thought.pdf
$ pastrybox from 21-10-2012 to 21-11-2012 print file "cool-stuff"
...

As you can see, you can ommit the .pdf file extension. It will automatically be added. Double quotes are also optional.
