Recently I posted an article whose examples are done with the Ruby Interactive Shell, irb
.
It was annoyingly tedious to copy and paste snippets from the irb
window into the post editor.
So I decided to automate. (Shocker!).
I'm building a program that will:
- Read markdown that contains snippets intended for
irb
. - Run each such snippet through
irb
, capturing the session. - Replace the original snippet with that output.
- Mark the changed passage as a Ruby code block.
Question is, what to call it?
- Started out thinking
irb2md
, but though the output is markdown, the input is not just simpleirb
. - Now it's
irb_filter
, but that doesn't tell an accurate story either. - Leaning toward
irb_in_md
, but not happy about it.
Suggestions?
