csv2md_blocks_by_template (csv2mdbt.py)

• this script helps you to convert csv file to single md file with several blocks by template. the first-level block of each comes from first column in your csv file. the name of output file is the same as input csv file.

Preparation

• python3
• pandas
• template.md
• filename.csv

Caution

• the variables in template.md should be like $title, $name or $title_name (no blank in variables, please replace blank with '_' by yourself)
• the variables in template.md should match the first row (colume name) in data.csv
• but you don't need to replace the blank in column name in csv file by yourself. script will do that. So you can keep column name in csv file as "title name"

Quick start

• csv2md_by_template (csv2mdt.py)

  • download csv2mdt.py and put it in the same folder as template.md and filename.csv
  • use shell and 'cd' to that folder
  • use follow command

    python csv2mdt.py filename.csv

• csv2md_blocks_by_template (csv2mdbt.py)

  • download csv2mdbt.py and put it in the same folder as template.md and filename.csv
  • use shell and 'cd' to that folder
  • use follow command

    python csv2mdbt.py filename.csv

• the output file(s) will be automatically generated in the same folders

• you can use template.md and data.csv in this repo to play around!
