Usage
To use Markshell in your CLI code use something like this.
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
const chalk = require('chalk');
const markshell = require('markshell');
const pathToFile = path.join(__dirname,
'path to my markdown file'
);
if (fs.existsSync(pathToFile)) {
// print markdown file
markshell.toConsole(pathToFile);
};
Theme
Setting theme for the console can be accomplished with the following code.
// get the default theme
const theme = markshell.getTheme();
Gives you the default themeing define in the package. the following theming slots are available.
// define headline format
theme.headline = chalk.bold.keyword('lime'),
// define bold text layout
theme.bold = chalk.bold.lime,
// define italic text
theme.italic = chalk.italic.keyword('lime');
// define strikethrough style
theme.strikethrough = chalk.strikethrough.keyword('lime');
// define code output
theme.code = chalk.bold.keyword('lime'),
// define inline code output
theme.inlineCode = chalk.bold.keyword('lime'),
// define blockquote style
