mdninja + markdown + jinja2 = beautiful HTML documents
mdninja is a document processor that converts markdown documents into HTML document by applying Jinja2 templating.
pip install mdninja
Simple use:
mdninja doc.md -o doc.html
If you want to use a different template:
mdninja doc.md -o doc.html --template=stylish.html
The default template is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{% for title in meta.title %}{{title}} {% endfor %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{% for title in meta.title %}{{title}} {% endfor %}</h1>
{{ body }}
<hr/>
</body>
</html>
Metadata (like title above) is added to the document by adding metadata headers like this at the top of the file
Title: A simple document
Alternatively, you can specify the meatadata using a YAML style header too:
--- title: A simple document ---
