Convert Markdown to Gemini gemtext with Go. Working with streams and UNIX pipes, utilizing Go channels. Processing streams line by line is probably slightly more complex than it needs to be, as I was toying with channels and state machines.
Internally md2gmi does a 1st pass that constructs the blocks of single lines for gemtext from one or multiple lines of an input stream. These blocks are then streamed to the 2nd passes. The 2nd pass will convert hugo front matters, links, fix headings etc. These stages/passes can be composed and chained with go pipelines. The output sink is either a file or stdout.
Usage of ./md2gmi:
-i string
specify a .md (Markdown) file to read from, otherwise stdin (default)
-o string
specify a .gmi (gemtext) file to write to, otherwise stdout (default)
go get github.com/n0x1m/md2gmi
cat file.md | md2gmi
md2gmi -i file.md -o file.gmi
