rmd - Remote Markdown

rmd is a python script that acts as a markdown compiler by calling a api.github.com/markdown-like API. It is built on top of requests.

rmds - Remote Markdown Server

rmds is a python script that acts as a server that provides a api.github.com/markdown-like API. It uses pandoc as its underlying compiler.

Installing the Server

1. Install pandoc.
2. git clone https://github.com/BalzGuenat/rmd.git

Starting the Server

python rmds.py

Calling the API

With rmd

Write the generated HTML to a file:

python rmd.py README.md -o README.html

Without the -o option, the HTML is written to stdout and can be piped (this can result in encoding errors on Windows):

python rmd.py README.md > README.html

If you want to call a different API:

python rmd.py -url https://api.github.com/markdown README.md

Get more info on usage with:

python rmd.py -h

With curl

If the 'Content-type' header is set to text/markdown, you don't need to wrap the markdown in a JSON. This makes calling the API with curl relatively easy:

curl -H 'Content-type: text/markdown' --data-binary @README.md http://localhost:8001 > README.html
