Building a project from markdown

Building a project from markdown

This post is intented as an helper for my next one 😄

It aims to briefly demonstrate how one can use mdr
to build a project from a mdr file, which happens to be a markdown file
with few annotations.

Since I not yet comfortable with technical nor post writing,
I'm leaving a (hopefully commented) script do the explanation.
Please read before running 😄

# create a new directory and cd into it mkdir GwionTest cd GwionTest # clone, build and install mdr git clone https://github.com/fennecdjay/mdr cd mdr make sudo make install # get back to GwionTest directory cd .. # get the mdr file curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fennecdjay/devto.sh/master/mdr/HelloGwion.mdr -o HelloGwion.mdr # run mdr on the file, thus building the project # set the BROWSER variable to the executable of the browser you use # e.g: BROWSER=dissenter-browser mdr HelloGwion.mdr BROWSER=<your browser here> mdr HelloGwion.mdr 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I you see any issues with the wording or anything in this post or the mdr file,
please let me know.
