💅 MAKEPAGE(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, gather round, because makepage is one of those little tools that's lowkey iconic once you know what it does 🎀 it lives in the General Commands Manual, and yes the header says MAKEPAGE(1) — that's just how we address it, like a full government name.

✨ NAME ✨

makepage — converts markdown input into a fully-formed xhtml page 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

makepage [-V] [-F bitmap] [-f flags] [file]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: makepage takes a markdown(7)-formatted textfile, parses it, compiles it, and then prints a fully-formed xhtml page out to stdout. it's giving glow-up pipeline, fr fr ✨

and if you don't hand it a file? no stress — it just reads from stdin instead, main character energy of "i'll take whatever you give me" 💅

the -F, -f, and -V flags are identical to the same options in markdown(1) — like, literally the same ones, so go read that page if you want the deets, iykyk 👑

also important: makepage is part of discount 🫶 (yes that's the actual name of the project, no i'm not being shady)

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

  • exits 0 when everything's slay ✅
  • exits >0 if an error occurs 😭

like, that's the whole vibe check. zero means good, anything above zero means something went sideways. periodt 💀
