   3 ## Markdown to HTML
   4
   5 The usual VSCode plugins add a lot of weird junk (telemetry, perhaps), so I decided to start using brute force and minimal `GoLang` code to convert my Markdown into HTML.

   7 ### Setup
   8
   9 ```powershell
  10 go install github.com/gomarkdown/mdtohtml@latest
  11 mdtohtml -h
  12 ```
  13
  14 ### Generate document
  15
  16 ```powershell
  17 mdtohtml.exe -css https://edward.delaporte.us/css/edthedev.css .\Dashboard.md > Dashboard.html
  18 ```

  20 VSCode Settings:
  21 ```json
  22 "command-runner.terminal.name": "runCommand",
  23 "command-runner.terminal.autoClear": true,
  24 "command-runner.terminal.autoFocus": true,
  25 "command-runner.commands": {
  26     "markdown to HTML": "mdtohtml.exe -css https://edward.delaporte.us/css/edthedev.css ${file} > ${file}.html",
  27         "HTML to PDF": "wkhtmltopdf.exe ${file}.html ${file}.pdf",
  28 },
  29 ```
  30
  31 Then `Ctrl+Shift+P`, `Run Command` and select `markdown to HTML`.
