Maked: A Command-Line Tool to Automate Markdown Processing

maked is a CLI tool that executes shell commands embedded in the YAML front matter of Markdown files. Keep your commands co-located with your documents — no separate Makefile or shell script needed.

pip install maked

Usage

Add a maked field to your Markdown file's YAML front matter:

---
maked: 'pandoc example.md -o example.pdf'
---

# My Document

Content here.

Then run:

maked example.md

You can also pipe content via stdin:

echo -e "---\nmaked: 'pandoc example.md -o output.pdf'\n---\nSome content here" | maked

Preview the command without executing it:

maked --dry-run example.md
