markdown_to_gemtext

Purpose

In this folder, you can find a script written to generate gemtext from markdown. It's just a test, since it's only going to convert the file extension after parsing the markdown file then writing the gemtext into a new file. This script will need to be updated so the markdown syntax also gets updated as gemini syntax, which I am not sure to be capable of doing right now.

/!\ Do not do all the code by yourself! /!\

Please see the renderer.js file to see an example on how you can help! The goal is to add comments and/or sources to help me figure things out! If you produce all the code by yourself, I won't be able to learn anything from this project!

Usage

As of now, if you want to run the script, make sure you have a recent version of node installed then run the following command :

node path/to/md_to_gmi.js path/to/example.md

Dependencies

• MarkedJS
