💡 Byte Idea: Markdown to HTML Converter #12

Open Seif-Mamdouh opened 1 month ago

Description

Build a command-line tool that converts Markdown files into HTML format.

Goal

The goal is to create a user-friendly CLI application that takes a Markdown file as input and outputs the corresponding HTML file.

Features

Markdown Parsing: Converts Markdown syntax (headers, lists, links, images, etc.) into HTML elements.
File Input/Output: Users can specify input Markdown files and output HTML files via command-line arguments.
Customization Options: Allows users to customize the HTML output, such as including a header or footer.
Error Handling: Provides clear error messages for invalid Markdown input or file-related issues.

Extra Feature (Optional)

Live Preview: Implement a feature that serves the converted HTML in a local web server for a live preview, allowing users to see their changes in real-time.

Useful Rust Crates

pulldown-cmark: Efficiently converts Markdown to HTML.
clap: A command-line argument parser to handle user inputs and options.
tokio: An asynchronous runtime for handling file I/O and possible live server functionality.
tera: A templating engine that can help in generating custom HTML structures if needed.
