Style Sherpa

Style Sherpa is a simple style guide generator. It takes a single Markdown file and converts it to a pre-made HTML template with tabbed sections. The template is powered by Foundation for Sites.

Installation

1npm install style-sherpa --save-dev

Usage

Your style guide lives in a single Markdown file, which can have any name and sit anywhere in your project. Use first-level headings (a single # before a title) to mark new sections in the style guide.

1# Section 1
2
3Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Fuga saepe, vero ratione optio illum aliquam. Sint esse velit est voluptatum. Ipsa tempora saepe nostrum quidem voluptatem esse voluptatum quibusdam laboriosam!

To create new sections, add four line breaks.

1# Section 1
2
3Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Fuga saepe, vero ratione optio illum aliquam. Sint esse velit est voluptatum. Ipsa tempora saepe nostrum quidem voluptatem esse voluptatum quibusdam laboriosam!

To actually run the parser, include the style-sherpa library and run the command. At minimum you need file paths for the input and output, but you can also optionally specify a custom template, or supply a callback.

1var sherpa = require('style-sherpa');
2
3sherpa('./test/fixtures/test.md', {
4  output: './test/fixtures/test.html',
5  template: './template.hbs'
6}, cb());
