markdown-ant

Markdown to HTML converter task for Ant. Written by Marcus Ahnve; I just found it and changed one or two minor things then pulled it into GitHub.

Original project is on Sourceforge

Usage

You use this as you would any custom Ant task - first declare it with a taskdef:

<path id="markdown.classpath">
    <fileset dir="./lib">
        <include name="*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
</path>

<taskdef name="md2html" classname="net.sf.markdownant.MarkdownTask">
	<classpath>
		<path refid="markdown.classpath"/>
	</classpath>
</taskdef>

... and then call it:

<md2html outputDir="FOO">
	<fileset dir="BAR>
		<include name="*.md"/>
	</fileset>
</md2html>

Dependencies

In this example, we've setup the classpath to be all the jars in the lib directory. Your configuration may vary. You need to copy two jars into your project:

build/markdown-ant.jar
lib/markdownj-1.0.2b1-0.2.0.jar

Output File Extension

By default, the output file extension is .html. You can change this:

<md2html outputDir="FOO" outputExtension=".htm">
	<fileset dir="BAR>
		<include name="*.md"/>
	</fileset>
</md2html>

Tests

There were tests in the original project, and they are in this project, but they have a few dependencies and I am in a hurry etc, so they are disabled right now. For shame!
