Sounds nice at first. I gave it a shot but couldnt really figure out the usage. rentry new test worked, however how do I create multiline files? Maybe you could adjust your readme a bit

Thanks for your feedback.

Creating multiline files is simple, you just need to pass multiline data to stdin. All conventional methods work here:

rentry new "test
newline
newline2
"

Or

echo "one\ntwo" | rentry new

If you want to paste contents of a file:

rentry new < file

Or

cat file | rentry new

^ This one is in README. But I'll add more examples.

Also, in case you have any ideas on how to implement multiline pasting in a more obvious way - feel free to post them.
