Having discussed using paru and creating and using filters in the previous two
chapters, it is now time to put it all together and into practice. As an
example, the generation of this manual is used. In the directory
documentation you find a number of files that comprise this
manual. The root file is documentation/documentation.md,
which contains some metadata, the outline of the manual, and a number of
::paru::insert commands to include the other markdown files from the
documentation directory:
::paru::insert documentation.md markdown
To generate the manual markdown file index.md, run the
do-pandoc.rb script on document.md:
do-pandoc.rb documentation.md
Using some simple filters and a small Ruby script, paru enables you to automate using pandoc and perform simple and complex transformations on your input files to generate quite complex documents.
