Run from terminal

Proposal

I would like to run the extension from the terminal as well as from the VS Code Command Palette. I do the latter when doing things interactively, but would like to do the former in various tool chains.

(maybe this feature already exists?)

Which is the command you would like to run? So far I don't think we can as this extension does rely on the VS Code's extension host.

I believe this person is referring to generating HTML from a MD file from the Terminal. This may not be possible for this code base.

HOWEVER, the fact remains that this is BY FAR the best MD to HTML converter that I've come across. If there's a way to make the same quality HTML generations executable as a standalone application, I think many people would be thankful.

@GrahamLimber I'm just using autohotkey to automate generating HTML docs.

@DeadTomGC Thanks for sharing.

It is doable in theory (as VS Code itself is open-sourced). But the required huge amount of effort makes it almost impossible in practice 😂.
