# MDLinks #

MDLinks is a static HTML page with JS markdown parser. It creates a link portal page with the links in a markdown file.

[Demo site](http://imaging.ninja/demo/mdlinks)

## UI

* At the top there is a search bar. Enter values to filter out links not matching to keyword.
    * Pressing key 's' focuses the search bar.
    * Pressing key 'c' clears the search bar.
* Top right has a toggle button. Click it to convert all links to open in a new window/tab.
    * Pressing key 'n' toggles


## Configuration

* config.js
    * File is read to replace values in "config.xx" object.
    * config.source='path_to_markdown.txt';
    * config.style='path_to_style.css';
    * config.title='Title of page';
    * config.columns=[integer];  // Split heads to this many columns
    * config.narrow=[integer];  // Create one column table on windows narrower than N pixels
    * config.search=true; // Display link search bar
    * config.favicon='path_to_favicon.ico';

## Markdown

Only 1st level heads and links are parsed. The rest are printed as is:
```
# header

[link name](link url)

```

## Static HTML builder

Sometimes the reloading of styles and links is hard due to caching.
You can create a fully static single HTML page with:

```
bash build_static.sh  -l example_links.txt -c config.js -s style.css  > templated.html
```
