A set of makefiles and scripts to build html, pdf, and epub files from Markdown source.
Right now, cpress has only been tested on a Mac, running Lion. You also need a few programs installed and running in your PATH before using cpress.
- Multimarkdown - http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/
- wkhtmltopdf - http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
- Calibre - http://calibre-ebook.com/
To test that things are working, clone this repo and run make. This Should make the lorem_ipsum.html sample.
To use cpress in your own projects, create your own makefile and use this template:
HEADER_FILE := header.md
CPRESS_DIR := ../cpress/
all: test.html
include $(CPRESS_DIR)cpress.mak
You need to create a header.md which has some directives such as author, title, etc. Set the location of this via HEADER_FILE. There is a sample file you can use as a template. You also need to define the relative path to the cpress.mak install from your Makfile via CPRESS_DIR .
Then you can just run make and test.html will get generated. You can generate a pdf by running make test.pdf and you can create e-pub by running make test.epub.
