Automate the creation of the helper files from the wiki

Open XargonWan opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Instead of maintaining the helper files manually we should do an automation to:

  • grab the desired wiki page
  • format it from markdown into plain text
  • add the footer such as:
Related wiki article can be found here:
https://wiki.link/foo/bar

The RetroDECK Team
  • output the result into the correct path

We could edit the helper_files_list.cfg to input the wiki link, for example:

how-to-install-citra-mods.txt^$mods_folder/Citra^https://github.com/XargonWan/RetroDECK/wiki/Citra%3A-Mods#citra---3ds

When we do this automation the wiki pages should be different by emulator (like not grouping together Dolphin and Primehack) and by scope: texture or mods.

For example:

Mods:

  • Dolphin
  • Primehack
  • Mesen

Textures:

  • PPSSPP
  • Dolphin
  • Primehack
