Fun with pandoc and shell scripts (terminal/bash)

Also see static compiler issue in my portfolio repository

I'm an absolute beginner with bash and not really interested in learning it, but for simple websites, PDFs, and other static content, these commands could be handy. It's a lot easier than static site generators.

Single file

To concatenate files (combine files into a single .html file)

pandoc --template=./source/pandoc-template.html --css=./static/styles.css ./partials/*.md ./partials/metadata.yaml -s -o ./build/output.html

Multiple files

To process multiple files (and export each as .html file). The ; is necessary for one-line commands.

for file in ./source/*.md; do
    pandoc --template=./source/pandoc-template.html -c ../static/styles.css -s "$file" -o "./build/$(basename "$file" .md).html";
done
