Markdown tools
Build Knowledge Bases with Raneto
Raneto [8] can prove to be an indispensable tool for transforming disparate Markdown files into a properly organized and easily accessible knowledge base (Figure 7). Raneto is powered by Node.js, so its installation routine is slightly different.
To begin, you need to install Node.js on your system. Then, get the latest release of Raneto from the Releases page of the project's GitHub repository [9] and unpack the downloaded archive. Switch to the resulting directory and run the npm install
command as root. Once you've done that, start Raneto using the npm start
command, and you can then access the application by pointing your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 (replace 127.0.0.1 with the actual IP address of the machine running Raneto).
Similar to other applications covered in this article, Raneto is supremely easy to use. All Markdown-powered pages go to the content
directory inside the Raneto installation. You can organize pages into subdirectories, which Raneto treats as separate sections. Additionally, the application's search functionality lets you easily find what you are looking for.
Final Word
Of course, the applications described in this article are not the only fish in the sea, and there are plenty of other Markdown tools that you might find useful. So, whether you need to generate static websites, manage tasks, or author ebooks, chances are there is a Markdown-powered tool for the job.
