config

mdsg uses rc so you can set config in all the places rc looks.

Example config

{
  "assets": "./assets",
  "css": [
    "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.2.0/styles/github-dark.min.css",
    "/assets/css/fonts.css",
    "/assets/css/styles.css",
    "/assets/css/theme.css"
  ],
  "injectCss": false
}

css

css links in head

The css array from config is used when linking to css files in the head tag of each html document. This is the default setting. A <link rel="stylesheet" href="/..."> tag is injected for each item in the array.

css style tags in head

To inject the css as style tags into each document:

mdsg --injectCss true

When injecting, the css is loaded from **/*.css files in the assets directory. They're lexicographically sorted by filename before being written into style tags in the head tag of each document.

assets

The assets directory contents are copied to the output directory.

skipping content

Directories or files with a leading underscore are skipped when reading content.

e.g. naming your output directory to _site/ would ensure it's skipped on a subsequent run.
