mdtogh 0.0.4

Transform markdown files into html with styles of github

Motivation

Basically, You may want to convert md files into Html looks exactly like github does.

Maybe you would try pandoc, but html it generates looks not very well.

So, I start writing this small tool, inspired by grip

Features

mdtogh can convert your md files into html files like github does with features belows:

• toc support

• index.html for your book

• next/prev files link

• file regexp to select your md files

• custom template(still working)

• offline renderer(still working)

demo

I’ve generate a book written by julycoding: The-Art-Of-Programming-By-July.

Demo link: taop.marchtea.com

You can check on that.

Installation

From pypi

$ pip install mdtogh

Also, you can clone repo & install with setup.py.

$ git clone https://github.com/marchtea/md_to_github_html.git
$ cd md_to_github_html
$ python setup.py install

Maybe you will need add sudo

Usage

Generate one or more files

$ cd mdfiles
    $ mdtogh 01.md 02.md 03.md

Generate all md files in current directory

$ cd mdfiles
$ mdtogh

Generate md files in other directory

$ mdtogh ../mdfiles

Generate files with file reg support

$ cd mdfiles
$ mdtogh --file_reg='^\d.+\.md'

Generate files with toc & toc_depth support

$ cd mdfiles
$ mdtogh --toc --toc_depth=2 --file_reg='^\d.+\.md'

Generate files with additional book info

$ cd mdfiles
$ mdtogh --toc --book='book.json'

The format of book.json is given below.

Recommanded options to generate book

$ mdtogh --css --toc --book='book.json' --file_reg='your reg exp'

Recommanded options to generate several files

$ mdtogh 01.md 02.md

For more options

mdtogh -h

Something You May Notice

As to generate files exactly like github does, the easiest way is to use api if offers. But it has its own limits.

• 60 for anonymous requests an hour

• 5000 for requests using Basic Authentication an hour

So, you may using –user & –pass options

$ mdtogh --user='your_github_username' --pass='your login password'

Your info are sended through https which is safe. mdtogh will not save any of it.

book.json

{
    "title": "Demo book",
    "description": "This is a book.",
    "coverimage": "demo.jpg"
}
