MyST Markdown Command Line Interface, mystmd
mystmd is a set of open-source, community-driven tools designed for scientific communication, including a powerful authoring framework that supports blogs, online books, scientific papers, reports and journals articles.
Note The
mystmdproject is in beta. It is being used to explore a full MyST implementation and will change significantly and rapidly. The project is being developed by a small team of people on the Executable Books Project, and may make rapid decisions without fully public/inclusive discussion. We will continue to update this documentation as the project stabilizes.
Overview
The mystmd project provides a command line tool (mystmd) for working with MyST Markdown projects.
- Provides functionality for cross-referencing, external structured links, and scientific citations
- Translate and render MyST Markdown into:
- HTML for static websites, and modern React for interactive websites (like this website!)
- PDFs and LaTeX documents, with specific templates for over 400 journals
- Microsoft Word export
- Parse MyST into a standardized AST, that follows the MyST Markdown Spec
See the documentation.
