EMC Tutorial
EMC: The EMLI Compiler.
This guide will walk you through the installation and usage of EMC.
How to Install
To install EMC you first need to have deno installed on your system. You can do this by visiting their website and running the appropriate script for your system.
You then need to run deno install --allow-read --allow-write -n emc https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ThatBlockyPenguin/WSS-EMLI@v0.1.0-alpha.6/mod.ts to install EMC.
If you ever wish to uninstall EMC, just run deno uninstall emc.
To update EMC, simply uninstall it, then install it again.
How to run
Once installed, you can run in at any time by opening a terminal/command prompt and entering emc. By default, EMC will look for a file in that directory called ‘index.emli’, and will output the compiled file in that directory as ‘<inputted file name>.html’.
Options
If you want to run EMC on a file in a different directory, or not called ‘index.emli’, then the options are for you.
EMC’s options follow the format:
emc <emli file name> <html file name>
In that specific order. If you want to change the positions of the arguments, you can use Named Flags:
emc --file=<emli file name> --out=<html file name>
emc --out=<html file name> --file=<emli file name>
Both of the above are valid.
You can also run EMC on every EMLI file in a directory. For example:
emc .
or
emc --file=.
This will run EMC on every ‘*.emli’ file in the current directory. When doing this, the out argument is ignored, and each file is saved as ‘<name of emli file>.html’
You can also use the --noupdate flag to skip the version check at the beginning.
