Hugo-to-Gemini converter

This repo holds a converter of Hugo Markdown posts to text/gemini (also named Gemtext in this README). The converter is supposed to make people using Hugo's entrance to Project Gemini, the alternate web, somewhat simpler.

The renderer is somewhat hasty, and is NOT supposed to be able to convert the entirety of possible Markdown to Gemtext (as it's not possible to do so, considering Gemtext is a lot simpler than Markdown), but instead a selected subset of it, enough for conveying your mind in Markdown.

The renderer uses the gomarkdown library for parsing Markdown. gomarkdown has a few quirks at this time, the most notable one being unable to parse links/images inside other links.

gmnhg

This program converts Hugo Markdown content files from content/ in accordance with templates found in layouts/gmnhg to the output dir. It also copies static files from static/ to the output dir.

For more details about the rendering process, see the doc attached to the program.

Usage of gmnhg:
  -output string
        output directory (will be created if missing) (default "output/")
  -working string
        working directory (defaults to current directory)

md2gmn

This program reads Markdown input from either text file (if -f filename is given), or stdin. The resulting Gemtext goes to stdout.

Usage of md2gmn:
  -f string
        input file

md2gmn is mainly made to facilitate testing the Gemtext renderer but can be used as a standalone program as well.
