mystmd 1.8.2

Command line tools for MyST Markdown

MyST Markdown Command Line Interface, mystmd

mystmd is a set of open-source, community-driven tools designed for scientific communication, including a powerful authoring framework that supports blogs, online books, scientific papers, reports and journals articles.

Note The mystmd project is in beta. It is being used to explore a full MyST implementation and will change significantly and rapidly. The project is being developed by a small team of people on the Executable Books Project, and may make rapid decisions without fully public/inclusive discussion. We will continue to update this documentation as the project stabilizes.

Overview

The mystmd project provides a command line tool (mystmd) for working with MyST Markdown projects.

• Provides functionality for cross-referencing, external structured links, and scientific citations
• Translate and render MyST Markdown into:
  • HTML for static websites, and modern React for interactive websites (like this website!)
  • PDFs and LaTeX documents, with specific templates for over 400 journals
  • Microsoft Word export
• Parse MyST into a standardized AST, that follows the MyST Markdown Spec
