Markdown Embed Code From File
v1.0.0
Latest version
Embedding code into markdown from external file. Any language's code blocks are available.
See demo repo if you are interested in testing code within README.
In markdown, write code block as follows:
```python:tests/src/sample.py
```
And, you can refer specific lines as
```python:tests/src/sample.py [4-5]
```Then, this action referes to tests/src/sample.py and modifies markdown as (if something code is written, they are overridden):
from math import sqrt
def sample(x):
return sqrt(x)And, specific lines is refered as
def sample(x):
return sqrt(x)NOTE: Read file by passed path, where the top directory in your repo is working directory. If the path is wrong, this action is failed.
