Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# Check project-level first
test -f .canghe-skills/canghe-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.canghe-skills/canghe-markdown-to-html/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

Workflow

Step 0: Pre-check (Chinese Content)

Condition: Only execute if input file contains Chinese text.

Detection:

  1. Read input markdown file
  2. Check if content contains CJK characters (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)
  3. If no CJK content → skip to Step 1

Format Suggestion:

If CJK content detected AND canghe-format-markdown skill is available:

Use AskUserQuestion to ask whether to format first. Formatting can fix:

  • Bold markers with punctuation inside causing ** parse failures
  • CJK/English spacing issues

If user agrees: Invoke canghe-format-markdown skill to format the file, then use formatted file as input.

If user declines: Continue with original file.

Step 1: Confirm Theme

Before converting, use AskUserQuestion to confirm the theme (unless user already specified):

ThemeDescription
default (Recommended)经典主题 - 传统排版,标题居中带底边,二级标题白字彩底
grace优雅主题 - 文字阴影,圆角卡片,精致引用块
simple简洁主题 - 现代极简风,不对称圆角,清爽留白

Step 2: Convert

npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> --theme <theme>

Step 3: Report Result

Display the output path from JSON result. If backup was created, mention it.

Usage

npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> [options]

Options:

OptionDescriptionDefault
--theme <name>Theme name (default, grace, simple)default
--title <title>Override title from frontmatter
--keep-titleKeep the first heading in contentfalse (removed)
--helpShow help

Examples:

# Basic conversion (uses default theme, removes first heading)
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md

# With specific theme
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md --theme grace

# Keep the first heading in content
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md --keep-title

# Override title
npx -y bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/main.ts article.md --title "My Article"

Output

File location: Same directory as input markdown file.

  • Input: /path/to/article.md
  • Output: /path/to/article.html

Conflict handling: If HTML file already exists, it will be backed up first:

  • Backup: /path/to/article.html.bak-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

JSON output to stdout:

{
  "title": "Article Title",
  "author": "Author Name",
  "summary": "Article summary...",
  "htmlPath": "/path/to/article.html",
  "backupPath": "/path/to/article.html.bak-20260128180000",
  "contentImages": [
    {
      "placeholder": "MDTOHTMLIMGPH_1",
      "localPath": "/path/to/img.png",
      "originalPath": "imgs/image.png"
    }
  ]
}
