Write man pages using Markdown, and convert them to Roff or HTML

Project description

# mrkd

Write man pages using Markdown, and convert them to Roff or HTML.

## Installation

` $ pip install mrkd `

## Usage

` $ mrkd my-file.1.md my-file.1 `

Syntax is mrkd [options…] input-file output-file. The name and section number will automatically be derived from the input file, though you can override them using -name my-name and -section my-section, respectively.

Change the format to HTML using -format html:

` $ mrkd my-file.1.md -format html my-file.1.html `

You can override the HTML template (see template.html for an example) using -template.

In order to setup HTML links, you can set up an index file like so:

`ini [Index] my-page(1)=my-page.1.html `

Then, when you do the following in your Markdown files:

` something something (see my-page(1)) `

mrkd will automatically pick up the link and connect it via the index file. Pass it via the -index argument:

` $ mrkd -f html -index index.ini my-file.1.md my-file.1.html `

See the test directory for an example.
