glombard / Get-ScriptPath.ps1
Created May 2, 2014 10:45
Use different techniques to determine a PowerShell script's directory: try `$PSScriptRoot`, `$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path`, `$ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.Path` and `$PWD`.
function Get-ScriptPath {
$scritDir = Get-Variable PSScriptRoot -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ForEach-Object { $_.Value }
if (!$scriptDir) {
if ($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path) {
$scriptDir = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path -Parent
}
}
if (!$scriptDir) {
if ($ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.Path) {
$scriptDir = Split-Path (Split-Path $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Module.Path)

How to use Markdown as a filter in a Jinja2 template, and then extract the Markdown Meta property directly from the template. Assuming you want to use the Meta-data value before rendering the converted Markdown content (e.g. in the html head), the trick is to render the markdown first, save it to a variable (html_content in this example) using a…
from pprint import pprint
import jinja2
import markdown
HTML_TEMPLATE = """{% macro get_html() %}
{{ content | markdown }}
{% endmacro %}
{% set html_content = get_html() %}
Title from Markdown meta-data: {{ get_title() }}
