TTY::Markdown CLI

CLI tool for displaying Markdown documents in a nicely formatted terminal output.

TTY::Markdown CLI provides cli for TTY::Markdown

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "tty-markdown-cli"

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tty-markdown-cli

Run tty-markdown with -h or --help options to print help information:

$ tty-markdown --help

To preview a Markdown document like this README.md:

$ tty-markdown README.md

To pipe a Markdown document like this README.md file:

$ cat README.md | tty-markdown

By default UTF-8 symbols are used to display terminal output but you can fallback on more widely supported ASCII set with -a/--ascii:

$ tty-markdown -a README.md
$ tty-markdown --ascii README.md

Further, you can control the amount of indentation with -i/--indent option. By default 2 spaces are used but you can, for example, remove any indentation:

$ tty-markdown -i 0 README.md
$ tty-markdown --indent 0 README.md

You can also use -w/--width option to specify the maximum output width. By default the output will span the full terminal width. To make output wrap around 80 characters do:

$ tty-markdown -w 80 README.md
$ tty-markdown --width 80 README.md

To control output coloring, use -c/--color option with always, never or auto:

$ tty-markdown -c always README
$ tty-markdown --color always README

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
