markdown2html.py
is a Python script that converts a Markdown file to HTML.
- it transforms
<h3>
tags into<a href>
tags by creating sections with unique identifiers and adds these anchors in a **sections.html
file **. In this index file you can add links to files by inserting the '-' sign in front of the file name: Examples:[-my PDF](document.pdf), [-my html](file.html), [-my text](document.txt), [-my code](code.py)
- it identifies special code blocks delimited by
<!--program>
and<program -->
These blocks define a code display area with attributes and highlight them withpygmentize
a code syntax highlighting tool.- it creates the HTML file by integrating the files
markdown2html.css
andmarkdown.css
markdown2html.css
defines the style of the HTML pagemarkdown.css
defines styles for the markdown file
Create a directory with the files
markdown2html.py, markdown2html.css, markdown.css
Run the Python file with your Markdown file:
python3 markdown2html.py my_file.md
A directorymy_file
is created, with 3 files inside:
article.html:
the main HTML file.
article.md:
a copy of the Markdown file.
sections.html:
an index of links created with the tags### and [-...]()
.
You can optionally modify the CSS files.
Pygments:
Download and install or withpip install Pygments
(Usage example: pygmentize -S paraiso-dark -f html -a .codehilite)
markdown2html.py: converts the Markdown file to HTML
markdown2html.css: defines the style of the HTML page
markdown.css: defines styles for the markdown file
(Theme code: Dracula)
Attributes must be placed between 2 tags
<!-- program> <program -->
The first set ofnumber-...
attributes customizes the line numbers.
The seriesbox-...
the box and the code.
the last attributes in the listlanguage
andtheme
correspond to the options
frompygmentize
, languages and styles.
In the<Program> tags
section, when specifying thecode
attribute,
you can either provide the name of an existing file or write the code directly.
For example,code: code_example_1.py
assumes thatcode_example_1.py
is an existing file in the same directory.
If you want to write the code directly, you can do so as follows:
<!-- program>
...
language: python
theme: fruity
code:
print("Hello")
print("World!")
<program -->
or
<!-- program>
...
language: js
theme: github-dark
code: script.js
<program -->
In the "Examples" section, many attributes are listed without values.
These attributes are optional and are used to customize the appearance of the code block.
If an attribute is not specified, the program will use default values.
You can experiment with different values to achieve the desired look for your code block.
