md-cli-converter
A CLI tool that converts Markdown files into static HTML websites with customizable themes
md-cli-converter
A simple CLI tool that lets you generate static HTML files from Markdown. Supports custom styles (.css) and custom templates (.ejs)
To Start
Install globally from npm:
npm install -g md-cli-converter
Default use - convert a Markdown file (.md) into an HTML file:
md-to-html notes.md --output site/
This will convert notes.md to notes.html and save the output in the site/ folder and automatically apply the default styles.css
site/
│── notes.html
│── styles.css
Custom Styling (--css) - You can use your own CSS file instead of the default styles.css:
md-to-html notes.md --output site/ --css styles/custom.css
Example Directory:
my-project/
│── notes.md
│── styles/
│ ├── custom.css
│── site/
│ ├── notes.html
│ ├── custom.css // Copied here automatically
Custom Templates (--template) - For a custom HTML structure define your own EJS template:
md-to-html notes.md --output site/ --template templates/my-template.ejs
Example Directory:
my-project/
│── notes.md
│── templates/
│ ├── my-template.ejs
│── site/
│ ├── notes.html // Uses my-template.ejs
