[Python-markdown-discuss] Summary page & links

[Albert W. <alb...@my...>]

Hi all,
Apologies if this was asked before...also apologies if my understanding is
incorrect.
I have a directory/folder structure that has one detail.md file in each
folder.
I am required to parse these .md files & generate a summary.md file at the
root folder level.
The summary.md file should include the some headers from the content of the
detail.md files.
It's to include these in summary.md a different layout format (i.e. a table
format with each detail.md content as a row).
These files are to be generated into static html files with links between
summary.html & detail.html & links back also.

I've a few questions that I'm hoping someone will be able to help with.
PLEASE!

1. Is Python-Markdown the tool for doing this? It looks class, but I just
haven't seen the use cases that allows me to create new .md files from
current .md files.

2. Can I generate a summary.md file from parsing certain fields from many
detail.md files. Python/Java would be the preferred languages.
Sorry, I've searched but I haven't seen a use case like this as an example.

3. I'll need to generate a static html site from all these .md files. I see
there are a few options here.
I see a few options here, pelican & jekyll being 2.
But can I generate links from summary.md files to detail.md files & also
create links from detail.md files to the root folder summary.md files?
I expect I'd have to code this in .md before converting to .html.

Thanks again for any support, very much appreciated!!!
Regards,
ACW
