Is there a way or plans to implement the ability to invoke marked from the command line and export the output to a new file? Something like this:
$ cat somefile.md > marked --html_out=[ somefile.html | somefolder ]

Maybe even use the default CSS you have defined in marked.

I keep a ton of stuff in nvALT, some of which I'd like to toss up to a web server on a nightly basis. Specifically, journal entries. I keep personal and work journals for each day in nvALT. A cronjob to process the markdown into HTML could dump the output into a folder and that folder could be rsynced to a web server.

    There are plans to extend that `mark` utility that's currently embedded, yes, but there's no timeline set for that development yet. I'd recommend using a script on a launchd or cron process that incorporates a processor like pandoc or possibly discount which can include CSS in the output.

    I would like this, too, for the same reasons as charlie's. Guess I'll look again at pandoc...

    Thx.
