Please document how to use the html-pipeline binary without command‐line arguments!

Something like a manpage or info page would be welcome. However I don’t understand at all how to use it.

[JuanitoFatas]

We have a usage section in our README. Does this help?

I see.

@jch This script committed in 5e9688f. But we did have a spec.executables entry in gemspec (removed in a214dd4).

@ytrezq If you want to use it now, we did not package in the gem, you will need to download it to your machine, store in any of your $PATH. Usage can be seen by typing html-pipeline -h:

$ html-pipeline -h
Usage: html-pipeline [-h] [-f]
       html-pipeline [FILTER [FILTER [...]]] < file.md
       cat file.md | html-pipeline [FILTER [FILTER [...]]]
Options:
    -f, --filters                    List the available filters

If you already know how to use it and asking for documentations, would you mind open a Pull Request?

Hope this helps. Thank you!

@JuanitoFatas : Sorry but I was talking about this script since the beginning. So no, this doesn’t help and I still don’t understand to use the standalone mode without filter names (sh -c "$PWD/html-pipeline").

Old issue, not sure what's being asked, please reopen if there's still and issue.

@gjtorikian as the original poster I can reopen this issue. Please do it.

As explained there s absolutely no help text explained is to do be able to use html-pipeline with default, options. That is, without optional filters.
