Simply write your wiki pages in Markdown, commit to a git repo and push. rikidown will refresh its git repo, then render your markdown pages inside of a template.

How does it work

GET /README.md HTTP/1.1

When rikidown recieves a GET request for a markdown page, it renders it using markdown-rs.

rikidown uses rouille to start the http server, and clap to configure arguments. The arguments supported include:

--git-repo the URL of the git repo to load
--listen address to listen on, in the form of 0.0.0.0:8080
--obsidian-mode pre-processes markdown files to make them more standard compliant

Additionally, if there is a './template.html' file in the repo, is will be used to wrap the generated HTML. Specifically, the 'body' block will be replaced by the markdown content.

Obsidian mode

Intended to create compatibility with Obsidian, because it has a fancy UI. Specifically, this replaces [[thing]] with [thing](thing.md) None of the other options in https://help.obsidian.md/obsidian-flavored-markdown are included.

Future work

Replace the Obisdian markdown with https://crates.io/crates/obsidian-export.
