CLI ‐ Webserver

Quarkdown's webserver allows direct communication between the compiler and the browser, making live previewing possible.

The server can be started via quarkdown start.

Important

A webserver is mandatory in order to show paged documents, because of a paged.js requirement.

Tip

quarkdown c ... -p is shorthand for quarkdown c ... && quarkdown start -f <generated file> -b default

Options

• -f <file> or --file <file>: (mandatory) the file the server should point to. It would preferably be the output directory of the compilation.

• -p <port> or --port <port>: the webserver's port. If unset, defaults to 8089.

• -b <browser> or --browser <browser>: optional browser to open the served page on.
