Markdown Boilerplate

Use Assemble to generate HTML pages from markdown content. Useful for wikis, gh-pages, documentation and blogs or sites with markdown posts.

Thank you to Upstage for the theme used in the live demo (the same used on http://assemble.io)!

This is not intended to be "documentation" for Assemble, the content used in this project is for example purposes. So you will learn by browsing the source code, rendered code, and seeing how it renders in the browser.

Getting started

If you have trouble getting started, please visit the documentation at http://assemble.io, or create an Issue at Assemble's GitHub repo, we're happy to help.

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1. If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install assemble --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your [Gruntfile][Getting Started] with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('assemble');

The "assemble" task

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named assemble to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  assemble: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    }
  }
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('assemble');

grunt.registerTask('default', [
  'jshint',
  'assemble'
]);

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

You should now be able to run grunt assemble to build the project.

Visit Assemble's documentation for more information.
