Writing bok with markdown is pure joy. I started a short practical SQL tutorial yesterday and it started do get traction today. I used shell script at first to generate the static HTML page for the book but make looked like a better idea. Here is the Makefile I use:
BUILDDIR = ./build
.PHONY: clean spell
all: html epub
html: *.markdown style.css Makefile
pandoc -s --css=style.css --toc -o $(BUILDDIR)/index.html *.markdown
cp style.css $(BUILDDIR)
epub: *.markdown style.css Makefile
pandoc -t epub --epub-metadata=metadata.xml -s --epub-stylesheet=style.css --toc -o $(BUILDDIR)/book.epub *.markdown
clean:
rm -f $(BUILDDIR)/*.html
rm -f $(BUILDDIR)/*.css
rm -f $(BUILDDIR)/*.epub
rm -f *.bak
spell:
for i in *.markdown; do aspell --lang=bg_BG check $$i; done
Important note: make requires TAB for indentation.
