Marking in Markdown

Working Title Dans Marking Compiler

Use Markdown for the Input (Have a semi stuctured file) Use Markdown AST to parse Jinja for output

Python commonmark will give me the AST

Setup

If not already

python -m venv env

python setup.py develop

pip install pytest
pytest

Or to stop and capture outputs

pytest -x -s

Or Nicer HTML output

pytest --html=report.html

There is a command line interface through the runDMC command

runDMC <input> [-t template] [-d dir for local templates] [-o output file]

If no output file is specified, we generate .html

Can be found in the examples directory

We have an example of a coursework Brief Using the built in template

Render with

$examples runDMC CourseworkBrief.md -t CourseworkBrief.jinja2

Paths / Organisation for the Templates do it

The second is better for orgnaisation, but a makes the command line clunky. We could map in the main function though...

Can be found
