README

Welcome to Holliday!

Requirements

• Pandoc
• Bash
• Optional: Knowledge of Markdown
  • Markdown Cheatsheet

Here's what Holliday is all about. DOCumentation.

All you have to do is:

source holliday.sh
start_holliday
# # the h1-title of my doc
# ## the h2-section title
some_cmd
some_other_cmd
# **note**: this cmd is dangerous
dangerous_cmd
stop_holliday

And you'll get a nicely formatted document in any one of several output formats.
