Small script that uses pandoc and dmenu to comfortably convert .md to .pdf

mdtopdf.sh

#!/bin/bash

# First arg is the folder
_folder=$1

# If _folder is empty, use pwd as default
if [[ -z $_folder ]]; then
        _folder=`pwd`;
fi

# Open the dmenu with all md files
_filename=`ls $_folder | grep '^.*\.md$' | dmenu -l 10`

# When dmenu is aborted, it will be empty, exit in that case
if [[ -z $_filename ]]; then
        echo 'Aborted from dmenu'
        exit 0;
fi

# Now convert it to pdf and drop in .
pandoc $_folder$_filename -o "${_filename}.pdf"
