markdown to html converter with bash as templating language, written in 100% pure bash, macgyver-style documentation generator

$ cat foo.md | bashdown
(produces markdown with evaluated values)

$ cat foo.md | bashdown --html
(evaluates template and produces html)

That will turn this into :

• to quickly write documentation
• portable
• unlimited possibilities
• markdown is nice, but has no template engine
• bash is a fullfledged template engine already
• everybody uses bash
• its installed everywhere

• BASH!
• bashfu ninjaskills (its worth the investment..really)

mkdir ~/bin 
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/coderofsalvation/bashdown.git
git clone https://github.com/chadbraunduin/markdown.bash
cp markdown.bash/markdown.sh ~/bin/markdown
cp bashdown/bashdown ~/bin/.

The '--html' makes usage of github's markdown processor, but you can use your own. In the 'example' directory you can see a simple wrapper which turns an markdown document into a nice styled html-document like so:

./mybashdown example.md > example.html

see the output here

Put this in ~/.profile so you always have handson-access to your bashscripts in ~/bin:

 PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
