MeRichard123 / md-contents-generator

CLI tool for generating Markdown Contents Pages from Markdown Files ready to paste into a readme or other markdown renderers like obsidian.

MD Content Generator

Do you! like me! Take notes in markdown and your notes end up very long? This tool was created for this exact reason, run the program and pass a markdown file as the argument. This program will generate a contents page for you to copy!

This is based on using # as levels for headings!

Useage:

cd md-content-generator
cargo run ./path/to/markdown/file.md < contents.txt 

1. Run the program from the directory
2. Pass a markdown file path as an argument
3. redirect into a text file.

Note: You can use md or mdx files.

Example Output:

Opening C:\Users\User\Documents\Dev\Projects\personal-site\New Astro Version\src\pages\notes\Clean-Code-with-Uncle-Bob.mdx
<details>
<summary><span style='font-weight:bold; font-size: 1.4rem;'>Contents</span></summary>

  - [Open-Close Principle](#open-close-principle)
    - [Side Effects ](#side-effects)
      - [Command Query Separation ](#command-query-separation)
</details>

The first line is a debug output telling you what file you opened, remember to remove it before you paste this into a markdown file.
