How is this built?

Mostly scraping Chef and InSpec docs. It's ... bad ... 🤗 it will be ok.

For Chef:

require 'yaml'

Dir.glob('*.yaml') do |doc|
  docs = YAML.load_file(doc)
  out =  docs.fetch("syntax_full_code_block")
  File.write(doc +".snip", out)
end

For InSpec:

Dir.glob('*.md').each do |doc|
  docs = File.read(doc)
  out =  docs.match(/(describe.*[\s\S]*?end)$/)[1]
  File.write(doc +".snip", out)
end
# Spacing to files
# sed -i -e 's/^/  /' *.snip
# Adding a newline to each file
# sed -i -e '$G' *.snip

Bye!
