Rename dest file about markdown-to-document HOT 6 CLOSED

Ho tu sais ici, c'est tranquille 😃

Thanks for opening this issue, I agree that it would be useful to add this kind of feature.

However, it can be a bit tricky to implement. If I change the behavior of the --dest option, renaming the output file will be available if there's only one source file (for bulk processing, we would need some kind of output filename pattern). The tool must also be able to assert whether --dest option value should be used as a directory or as an output filename (--dest option value ends with .html?). I wouldn't want to add this kind of inconsistent behavior to the CLI. Do you see a better way to implement this feature?

I'm glad to see that this tool is used by other people :)

I guess you could add a file name template option ? And you provide only an index number as parameter to do something light for now ?

My pleasure, it's easy and it works :)

I'm pretty busy right now so I won't be able to release this feature very quickly.

Until this feature is implemented, you could use the following workaround:

mdtodoc README.md --dest dist/ && mv dist/README.html dist/index.html

This solution won't work with the watch feature, but at least, it will do the job for simple compilations and it doesn't require any additional library, just some good old Bash/Shell 😉

Because I use cpy-cli for other purposes in my build, I use it to rename the file

cpy README.html ./dist --rename=index.html

It requires an additional library but if you're already using it in your build process, that's okay!

PS : je ne saurais pas dire si c'est une spécialité de la région, est-ce vraiment plus tranquille du côté de Bordeaux ? 😄
