Markdown Tools

For working with markdown chapters in a programming book.

To install:

1. Install Python if you don't already have it.

2. Clone this repository.

3. Open a command prompt and change to this project directory. Run this command:

pip install -e .

This performs a system-wide install from the current directory '.', and the -e flag makes it editable, which means that if you make any changes to the tools, those changes are immediately available without re-running pip. (If you're not planning to modify the tools you can leave off the -e).

After installation, all consoles will contain the command mt which is an entry point to all the markdown tools. If you would like a different command name, open pyproject.toml and find this section:

[project.scripts]
mt = "markdown_tools.tools:main"

Then change mt to the command of your choice. (In this case, you will need to re-run the above pip command to change the name).
