mdut (pronounced "em-doot") is a tool for generating Markdown URL tags. It ships as both a standalone command-line program and Python library.

Command-line program:

# reference style is default
$ mdut https://example.com
Copied to clipboard:
[TODO]: https://example.com "Example Domain"

$ mdut -s inline https://example.com
Copied to clipboard:
[TODO](https://example.com "Example Domain")

$ mdut -s slack https://example.com
Copied to clipboard:
[TODO](https://example.com)

Python library:

>>> import mdut
>>> mdut.reference("https://example.com")
'[TODO]: https://example.com "Example Domain"'
>>> mdut.inline("https://example.com")
'[TODO](https://example.com "Example Domain")'
>>> mdut.slack("https://example.com")
'[TODO](https://example.com)'

If you plan on using mdut on the command-line, you're probably best off installing it via pipx, like so:

pipx install mdut

However, if you plan on using mdut as a library in your project, you should probably install it the same way as your other dependencies, for example via pip, Poetry, Pipenv, etc.

# pip
pip install mdut

# Poetry
poetry add mdut

# Pipenv
pipenv install mdut
