Reading you-don't-know-js from Harpjs at localhost

##introduction If you have a good internet conection maybe you don't need do this, but if like me you have internet issues then this steps should be a good option to read YDKJS aka You Don't Know JS at localhost usign Harpjs like markdown compiler.

###Installing Harpjs First you need a way to compile markdown template, I'm using Harpjs because is so easy to understand the basic to run an static site. Then open a terminal and write the next commands.

sudo npm install -g harp
create file directory mkdir mybook and go inside it cd mybook
create default boilerplate files from harp harp init
clone You Don't Know JS github repository git clone [email protected]:getify/You-Dont-Know-JS.git inside myblog directory

So far you should see a list of files like this: _layout.jade, index.jade, main.less and the github repository You Don't Know JS github repository

###Compiling markdown to html The final step is get the github-markdown.css style and setting it.

download github-markdown.css sudo npm install --save github-markdown-css
copy the css file to the root directory cp node_modules/github-markdown-css /mybook
open _layout.jade file and paste this line link(rel="stylesheet" href="/github-markdown.css") below main.css then add below of the body tag the next code article.markdown-body remember keep the tag indentation space for .jade files and insert != yield below of article.markdown-body
open the main.less file and paste this code at the end of the file:

.markdown-body {
  min-width: 200px;
  max-width: 790px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 30px;
}

###Testing the book content Finally we just want to test the book with markdown format.

open the terminal and go inside the mybook directory
write the harp command: harp compile if any error happen you are make the steps very good!
and finally run the server harp server this show to you where to find the book at localhost:9000
