Mau

Mau is a lightweight markup language heavily inspired by AsciiDoc, Asciidoctor and Markdown.

As I wasn't satisfied by the results I got with those tools I decided to try to write my own language and the tool to render it.

I successfully used it to transpile my book "Clean Architectures in Python" from Mau to Asciidoctor, as Mau is not ready to be used in my workflow yet (it can't create PDFs, for example).

Quick start

To install Mau use pip

pip install mau

To convert Mau sources into HTML just run

mau -i source.mau -o destination.html -f html

To use Mau in your tool you can run it programmatically

from mau import Mau

mau = Mau(target_format="html")

mau.process(text)
