SureMD - Test Markdown Files

by Djones A. Boni

SureMD will find all markdown files (.md) in the subdirectories and process them, creating the files and running the console commands specified in the documentation.

Quick-start

Just call suremd.py. It will search for markdown files in the current working directory and will process them in the build/ directory.

$ ./suremd.py

It is also possible to call suremd.py with directories and markdown files.

$ ./suremd.py README.md

How to use SureMD

To learn how to use SureMD take a look into the files in the tutorial/ directory. Here is one example:

1. To create a file use triple ticks followed by the language (```XXX), add a comment with the filename (no spaces), the code for the file, and end with triple ticks.

/* File: main.c */
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if (argc == 1)
    {
        /* No arguments. */
        printf("Hello, World!\n");
    }
    else
    {
        /* One or more arguments. */
        for (int i = 1; i < argc; i++)
            printf("Hello, %s!\n", argv[i]);
    }

    return 0;
}

The first line (filename comment) is removed from the output file.

2. To run a command use triple ticks followed by "console" (```console), write the command prepended with a dollar sign. Write a comment before the first command (optional). Write the expected output after the command (optional). All commands must succeed (return zero).

$ gcc -o main main.c

$ ./main
Hello, World!

$ ./main alice $USER bob
Hello, alice!
Hello, ...!
Hello, bob!
