Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Summary page & links

[Dave P. <dav...@gm...>]

Not quite what you want.
I convert all files in current directory to html from md
then generate an index file (top level) but use the file
names.

You may be able to build on that and iterate through directories?
Assumes using Linux / bash.
If that's the case, see below
here=`pwd`
pysource=/files/python/mymarkdown.py
idx="index.html"
idxbn="index"
# Create top of index file

echo "<html><head><title>Index of Markdown files</title> <meta
http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />
</head><body>
<h2>Index of files</h2>
<ol>
" >$idx


clear
for fil in *.md
 do
bn=`nameonly $fil`
#echo processing ${bn}.md to  ${bn}.html
python ${pysource} ${bn}.md ${bn}.html
echo "<li><a href='${bn}.html'>${bn}.html</a></li> ">>$idx
done


# finish of index file

echo "</ol></body></html>
" >>$idx
