## About

Recently i've been building my first open source project. It's a CLI tool to export Markdown files using FrontMatter metadata to styled PDF's based on Jinja2 templates.

If that sounds a bit too technical did you ever have this problem?
The idea came because I found myself adapting the same word docs over and over again. Only to find out I forgot to change the date or a name in one of the documents.

I figured if i had a markdown file with the fields i had to change as metadata and markdown text to rendered into the body of the document this would solve that problem for me.
