example

Convert a markdown page into a HTML page using the standard template

The markdown (index.md):

This is the content of the page

The Template (template.html):

<html>
<title>{{ title }}
<body data-var="{{ var }}">
{{ body }}
</body>
</html>

Output a HTML page based on the 2:

First by piping via the shell:

$ cat input.md | pagemaker convert -t template.html > index.html

Or by explicitly naming the input and output:

$ pagemaker convert -t template.html index.md index.html
