Brett -- in a discussion w/ Julien (problems) you mentioned your documentation workflow script.

" My own documentation projects use raw Markdown files with build scripts to wrap the processed files in template HTML. I view the documents in Marked with no "chrome" as I work, and then when I want a full preview of the site, I run the build script and it processes either the current file or the whole tree, applies the sidebar, header, etc, then opens it as a local server. Most of my projects take about 3 seconds to build and refresh the web page, so it's pretty snappy. Marked handles showing me the result of my Markdown, and the rest is left up to build scripts and my web browser."

My question is: would you be willing to share this script?

Thanks

    I'll post it here as soon as I have a chance to comment it a little so that it's more readable.

    Thanks,
    Brett

    Thanks! I am assuming that this is what you used to create your new help files (which are excellent). I'm creating a set of tech tip files for our Mac User Group and having a script to facilitate the workflow would be a very big time saver.

    I continue to be impressed by the quality of your work and by the amount of time you spend serving as your own "support staff." This is much appreciated.

    Sorry for the delay on this, hoping to have time to post the script in the next day or two.
