grunt-mingos-markdown-py

Convert Markdown files to HTML using mingos-markdown-py.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mingos-markdown-py --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mingos-markdown-py');

The "markdown_py" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named markdown_py to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  markdown_py: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

options.extension

Type: String Default value: 'html'

The extension of the output files.

options.md_options

Type: Object Default value: {}

Options passed in to the mingos-markdown-py module, as they would be passed in to its convert() method.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to convert Markdown files present in the directory "source/" to HTML and save them to the "destination/" directory. Note that the file paths and names will be retained, only the ".md" extensions will be changed to ".html".

grunt.initConfig({
  markdown_py: {
    options: {},
    files: [
      { expand: true, src: ['source/**/*.md'], dest: 'destination/' }
    ]
  }
});

Custom Options

In this example, custom options are used to alter the output of mingos-markdown-py by telling it to use extensions:

grunt.initConfig({
  markdown_py: {
    options: {
      extension: [
        'extra',
        'smarty'
      ]
    },
    files: [
      { expand: true, src: ['source/**/*.md'], dest: 'destination/' }
    ],
  },
});
