gmd

What is it?

gmd is a small command-line utility to easily generate fancy HTML from Markdown.

Installation

$ [sudo] gem install gmd

Usage

$ gmd text.md

Will generate HTML from the text.md and save it to text.html.

$ gmd text.md -l <layout>

Will generate and save HTML from the text.md using specified layout.

Built-in layouts:

• default
• github - something similar to new GitHub style
• metal - something like older GitHub style

Actually, the deafult style is also (a very very old) GitHub style ;)

TeX-based math

gmd supports TeX formulas! Just use $ ... $ for inline math and $$ ... $$ for display math.

An inline math here: $e^{i\pi} = -1$. Awesome!

$$
\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^{\!\!2} \leq
 \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)
$$
