Cool tool! Thank you for your work. You might want to checkout Cog for inspiration. That's all I had. Thank you again!

Hi @viseshrp, thanks for your interest!

Some differences:

markdown-code-runner:

  • Designed for Markdown files, works with native code blocks.
  • Executes Python and Bash code, updates output in-place.
  • Supports hidden code blocks for seamless content generation.
  • Lightweight, easy GitHub Actions integration.

Cog:

  • General-purpose code generation for any text file.
  • Embeds Python code in source files using special comments.
  • Doesn't support native Markdown code blocks or hiding code.
  • Requires a separate step to execute code and update output.

In summary, markdown-code-runner is tailored for Markdown with support for native code blocks and hidden code, while Cog is more versatile but doesn't support these Markdown-specific features. Choose the tool that best fits your needs.

Shameless plug 😅 Markdown Exec. It's a Python-Markdown extension so even more integrated with the rendering process, but it only works with Python-Markdown and the PyMDown-Extensions' SuperFences extension (so it's less generic).

Very nice project and README! Nice work 🙂

Awesome!

I will add a section referring to other tools :)
