File Extensions

By default, the file extension for the created file is the name.

In the following case:

[langs.rust]
command = ["rustc", "{{IN}}", "-o", "{{OUT}}"]
template = """
pub fn main() {
    {{INPUT}}
}
"""

Running the command:

quicker_md run rust "println!('Hello, world!');"

Would produce the temporary file out.rust. While this may run, it is not recommended to use incorrect file types, as this may through warnings to the compiler.

To prevent this the field extension is provided to tell QuickerMD the correct file type for the language.

In the rust example, the correct usage of the extension field would be:

[langs.rust]
extension = "rs"
command = ["rustc", "{{IN}}", "-o", "{{OUT}}"]
template = """
pub fn main() {
    {{INPUT}}
}
"""
