As a student I take notes, a lot of them! I got tired of formatting them over and over again to make them more appealing for a re-read. At the same time I got to like Markdown and wanted to play a bit with it.
The result is this project where I made my own, super simple, mark up language and convert it, with Python, into valid html. Yyu will notice that I oriented and borrowed from Markdown since it is so simple and clever made Why not stay with Markdown? I wanted more freedom and the possibility to add new features as easy as possible.
Since the result is HTML my notes now get formatted by CSS and I only have to make the stylesheet ones. If I don't like anymore it, I can just change the CSS or use different stylesheets for different topics.
So far these are the possible tags:
- AllNote-Tag - HTML-Tag
- # - <h1>
- ## - <h2>
- ### - <h3>
- #### - <h4>
- ##### - <h5>
- ###### - <h6>
- + - <p>
- * - <code>
- ++text++ - <br>
- Take your notes with the given tags for example:
# Heading
## Subheading
+ Some text
Some more text
Even more text
## Subheading
+ Some other text- Convert your notes to HTML
- Set the paths for in- and output
- Give the HTML-Document an optional title and the path to your desired stylesheet
def __main__():
input_file = open("input.txt", "r")
output_file = open("output.html", "w")
output = process_input(input_file)
output = embed_in_html(output, "example", "css/example.css")
output_file.write(output)- run the script
- Get yourself some HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en'>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>
<title>example</title>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='css/example.css'>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Heading</h1>
<h2>Subheading</h2>
<p>Some Text</p>
<h2>Subheading</h2>
<p>Some more Text</p>
<code>Code 0 Code 1 Code 2 </code>
<p>Text0 Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 Text5</p>
</body>
</html>
