Geminut is a simple CLI software to convert a gemlog (aka gemini capsule) to HTML or markdown. The goal is to make a simplified process for the user writing in gemini specfied syntax to be able to simultaneously post to a gemlog as well as a simple HTML blog or git repo or markdown documentation without having to hand convert.
This documentation was written in gemtext and then converted via Geminut if you are currently reading this in HTML or markdown. See the gemini README source file for the original if you're viewing this on the web or in markdown. The HTML output includes a gemini syntax-like css stylesheet.
## Usage
```
node geminut.js input.gmi output.html
```
OR
```
node geminut.js input.gmi output.md
```
## Screenshot

## Method
gmi links are converted to .html and .md depending on output choice, as it's expected this is to be used to convert a blog. Links for HTML are wrapped in paragraph tags to ease readability of converted page. List items and links get an added newline break when converted to markdown to ease readability.
HTML outputs a head section and wraps output inside body, inside proper html doctype. It includes a gmi.css stylesheet by default.
