yiki - the yellows111 "wiki"

Takes a bunch of Markdown (*.md) files (default is from docs), and renders to HTML with preserved directory paths.

Features

• Table of Contents on every page.
• Preserved directory paths.
• All headers can be jumped to.

Motivation

Just felt like writing it so I could write markdown instead of working with HTML syntax rules for my documentation/research archive.

Licensing

MIT. Review the LICENSE file if required.

How to use

node ymake, set options using export commands.

An alternative makefile for GNU make is avaliable if it is prefered.

Either way, you'll want to write Markdown (*.md) files to the docs (which is the default SRC_DIRS) directory.

Afterwards, check the build (BUILD_DIR) directory for the .html files.

Otherwise, if you just want to use yiki to render one file:

node compile source.md target.htm

SRC_DIRS Specify the directory which yiki compiles files from.

ymake: export SRC_DIRS="./input"

GMake: gmake SRC_DIRS="./input"

GMake: gmake BUILD_DIR="./output"

WIKINAME Specify what the "A new yiki!" text should be replaced with.

GMake: gmake WIKINAME="I love options!"

VPREFIX Specify the virtual root of that the default template links to for the yiki.css and the index.html files.

ymake: export VPREFIX="/yiki/"

GMake: gmake VPREFIX:="/yiki/"

DOMAIN Specifiy the domain name that your sitemap.xml links to.

ymake: export DOMAIN="example.com"
