This is, basically, a static site generator created for a friend so that she could write transcripts of counseling sessions in a templatized fashion.
Install it, write some files, run the build script, read the documents, print the documents, etc...
Look in the output directory, which is recreated each time you "build" the transcripts. You can view these in your web browser by just opening the file. index.html has a reverse chronological list of the sessions.
If you need to print a copy, then just print from the browser.
Just place a file with an extension .md in the content directory. Look at the example file included (1.md) to get a sense of what to do.
The files are written in Github Flavored Markdown with a few extra tags to control the formatting. Each file needs a header that takes some necessary values. See the example file for, well, an example.
Note: write the date as YYYY-MM-DD (using hypens), and write the time in a 24hr format.
Another Note: Do not use Microsoft Word to write the files. They must be written as a plain text document. TextEdit can do this, but make sure that Plain Text mode is on and not Rich Text Format
There is very little error checking.
