DocFace

DocFace turns your markdown files into html and makes them easy to view via a web page. It will recursively look through the directories you specify and will build navigation in the directory heirarchy that it discovered the files in.

I mainly created DocFace because I use Opscode Chef and you end up with tons of README and CHANGELOG files. I wanted to view these is some sane way.

Installation -----------------------

gem install docface

From Source:

gem build docface.gemspec

Usage

docface -d ~/git/chef -o ~/my_docs

For multiple directories include them seperated by a space

docface -d ~/git/chef/cookbooks ~/git/chef/site-cookbooks

Known Issues

Running locally and using Chrome? You're going to have a "same origin policy" issue. You can either put a webserver in front of it, use FireFox or try running Chrome with "--allow-file-access-from-files". Chrome prevents ajax calls to local files.

Want a table of contents on your pages? Include the following snippet in your markdown file wherever you want the TOC.

* This will be replaced with the ToC
{:toc}

Code Highlighting

Docface uses coderay for syntax highlighting. To get the syntax highlighting specify the language after the markdown code block.

    ~~~~ ruby
    h.each do |h|
      puts h
    end
    ~~~~
