pb is a command-line tool designed to facilitate a multi-platform, scientific
publishing workflow.
It allows you to write your posts locally using scientific-styled Markdown (tables, code blocks, footnotes, and math formulas) and publish to external hosts1 while maintaining the structure of the original post.
If you have the Go toolchain installed, then you can use go get:
go get github.com/jdkato/pb
Otherwise, download one of the pre-built binaries.
Uploading content to Medium requires an Integration token. To generate one, go to your settings page, select "Integration tokens" from the sidebar, and create one:
|
|
| Select 'Integrations tokens' from the sidebar. | Create an Integration token; the description can be anything you want. |
Then, enter the pb configure command, follow the instructions, and enter your token. For math formulas on Medium, you also need to have Inkscape installed and available on your $PATH.
