CLI - Project creator
The project creator is a CLI project wizard that makes it fast to set up a new Quarkdown project.
quarkdown create [directory] launches the wizard and generates the project files in the given directory (it will
be created if it does not exist). Not specifying a value for directory generates the files in the working directory.
The following information will be prompted via standard input, unless the corresponding option is set via command-line arguments:
| Data | Additional info | Corresponding option | Generated Quarkdown function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project name | --name | .docname | |
| Authors | Separated by commas | --authors | .docauthors |
| Document type | paged/slides/plain | --type | .doctype |
| Document language | Valid language tag or full name | --lang | .doclang |
| Color theme (unprompted) | --color-theme | .theme | |
| Layout theme (unprompted) | --layout-theme | .theme |
Additional options:
--empty: does not include sample initial content--main-file <name>: sets the name of the main.qdsource file. Defaults to the name of the parent directory.
