Stranger Quarkdown

Stranger Quarkdown (Squarkdown) is a successor to Quarkdown, for integration with Svelte^↗, SvelteKit^↗ and MDSveX^↗.

Write content for a site with Squarkdown-Flavoured Markdown in any directory, then use Squarkdown to export them to .svx files in your SvelteKit project directory.

Features

Core

• Automates several parts of the build process for SvelteKit projects
• Multiple configuration options and Rake tasks for flexibility
• Intelligently handles directories for more versatile navigation

Extra

• Moves assets from a different folder to the SvelteKit static/ directory
• Collects fonts to build the Google Fonts^↗ <link> tag for you
• Collects global .scss files to build an scss-config.js file

Future

• Correct internal relative links to correct absolute links in production

Directory

I mean, these should be pretty self-explanatory, but here you go anyway ;)

Usage

[!Tip] See Using Squarkdown in a SvelteKit project for a full detailed walkthrough.

This project is designed to be used as a Git submodule.

Add it to a repo:

git submodule add https://github.com/Sup2point0/stranger-quarkdown

Make sure you’ve got your repo config in ./.squarkdown/squarkup.json if needed.

Run rake in the ./stranger-quarkdown/ directory to start the squarkup process. You can add this to your npm run build definition in package.json, so that it executes whenever you build the site:

  {
    "scripts": {
+     "build": "cd stranger-quarkdown && rake && cd .. && vite build"
    }
  }

Squarkdown will recursively look for all .md files starting from the root of the repo, and export them to .svx files in src/routes.

Many additional configurations are available to customise this process, although the defaults should cover most projects.
