README.md

Document related files reside in docs/

There is a templates directory where you store the markdown files.

Running the command without a path argument shows a picker to choose a template.

The shown files are ordered by modification date. Only the first 20 are shown.

Using "A" renders all files in the directory (not just the ones shown).

The selected path is rendered into the docs/render/pages directory as an html file.

There is an extra directory in render with global files that affect all pages.

A markdown file can have a title metadata line to indicate the page's title:

title: This is the title of the document

A path can be specified directly:

lester /home/me/file.md

Using just the name will attempt to look in the templates directory:

lester mytemplate.md

Installation

Run install.sh

This will place the binary from bin/ into /bin/lester

Then it will create a ~/.config/lester directory.

Inside this directory is where your templates and pages exist.

Alternatively use the nim compiler to compile from source.
