This is a simple Symfony console application that I use to turn Markdown invoices into HTML or PDF.
Simply create your invoice folders under invoices/ directory. Example: paid, unpaid, estimates. A recommended file
naming format is [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]-[project].md (2013-01-15-github.md).
See invoices/2013-01-15-sample.md for an example Markdown invoice. The script uses a template invoices/layout.html to give the invoice its layout and styling which you can modify to your needs.
bin/markdown-invoice generate --help
Usage:
generate [--output[="..."]] src [invoice]
Arguments:
src Location of invoice; ex: "paid", "unpaid"
invoice What invoice to generate for?
Options:
--output Output to format; html or pdf (default: "html")
--help (-h) Display this help message.
--quiet (-q) Do not output any message.
--verbose (-v) Increase verbosity of messages.
--version (-V) Display this application version.
--ansi Force ANSI output.
--no-ansi Disable ANSI output.
--no-interaction (-n) Do not ask any interactive question.Example run:
bin/markdown-invoice generate unpaid --output=pdf
Please choose an invoice in "unpaid"...
