Convert Markdown to PDF with Asciidoctor

README.md

Use the script above by making it executable (chmod +x convert.sh) and running it (./convert.sh).

If you want to add a page break use <<<, if you want to add syntax highlighting add :source-highlighter: rouge at the top of the Markdown file, it won't be rendered in Markdown but will be used by asciidoctor.

convert.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -eux

INPUT_MD_FILE=tr.md
OUT_ADOC_FILE=tmpOut.adoc 
OUT_TMP_PDF_FILE=tmpOut.pdf
OUT_PDF_FILE=documentation.pdf

# Clear any temporary files from previous executions
(rm -f "${OUT_ADOC_FILE}" "${OUT_PDF_FILE}" "${OUT_TMP_PDF_FILE}" || true)

# Convert Markdown to Asciidoctor
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data pandoc/core  -f markdown -t asciidoc -i "${INPUT_MD_FILE}" -o "${OUT_ADOC_FILE}"

# Convert Asciidoctor to PDF
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/documents/ asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor asciidoctor-pdf "${OUT_ADOC_FILE}"

# Rename the output PDF to a more proper one
mv "${OUT_TMP_PDF_FILE}" "${OUT_PDF_FILE}"

# Clean up
(rm -f "${OUT_ADOC_FILE}" "${OUT_TMP_PDF_FILE}" || true)

A very nice script for the conversion of markdown files. One minor comment, could you add quotes "$(pwd)" to the second docker command?

Thanks for pointing it out, I have updated the gist 😃
