srackham / rimu Goto Github PK

If installed from Github the executable does nothing and returns immediately.

But bizarrely, if it is installed from deno.land it works:

$ deno install -A -f --name rimudeno https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/src/deno/rimuc.ts
✅ Successfully installed rimudeno
/home/srackham/.deno/bin/rimudeno

$ /home/srackham/.deno/bin/rimudeno --version
11.1.12

Installing from Github the bundled executable command does nothing, it simply returns immediately:

$ deno install -f -A --name rimudeno https://raw.githubusercontent.com/srackham/rimu/11.1.12/src/deno/rimuc.ts
✅ Successfully installed rimudeno
/home/srackham/.deno/bin/rimudeno

$ /home/srackham/.deno/bin/rimudeno
        <------ Blank line instead of version number
$

I suspect this behavior is linked to a Deno 1.4.0 install command regression: denoland/deno#7455

There's a bug in Deno 0.41.0 that stops the Deno version of th rimuc CLI from working with stdin (denoland/deno#4789). See also #1

$ deno --version
deno 0.41.0
v8 8.2.308
typescript 3.8.3

$ deno -A Drakefile.ts test

Hi, thanks for releasing this library! Pandoc's yaml_metadata_block extension allows you to insert front matter at the top of a Markdown document in the form of an arbitrary YAML object delimited by ---. It would be useful for Rimu also to support this.

YAML is implemented in std/encoding, so I was able to put together a rough patch pretty easily. However, it breaks the API by awkwardly changing the type of the exported render function to return a [metadata, html] tuple. The name render suggests that Rimu is not intended to do anything other than consume Markdown and emit HTML.

Let me know if you're interested in a more comprehensive PR that implements this properly, perhaps by exporting a metadata function. Otherwise, I'm happy to implement this in my own code, and you can just close this issue as a record of the fact that YAML metadata blocks are out of scope for Rimu.

I wonder where rimu stands compared to djot.

Any insights (features-wise, implementations-wise, etc.)?
