Poor Mans Pandoc Wiki

Makefile

SOURCES=$(wildcard **/*.md) $(wildcard *.md)
HTML=$(patsubst %.md, build/%.html, $(SOURCES))

all: $(HTML)

build/%.html: %.md
	mkdir --parents $(dir $@)
	pandoc -s $< -o $@

.PHONY:
clean:
	rm -rf ./build

The idea behind this is to have a bunch of markdown files in the same directory as this file (as well as any subdirectories). It converts them into HTML and puts them in a build directory. I created this because I wanted a quick and easy way to write notes as hypertext without having to write raw HTML.

Setup

1. Install Pandoc, Latex is not necessary since this renders HTML.
2. Put this Makefile in the root directory of your notes/project.
3. Run make all to convert all markdown .md files into HTML.
