# Playbill Builder CLI
|
|
|
|
This is a CLI tool for compiling Markdown and YAML files into a validated Playbill for [Proscenium](https://proscenium.game)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
Usage:
|
|
muse [/path/to/binding.yaml] <options>
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
--check Only load and check the current binding and resources, but do not compile
|
|
--outfile, -o Specify the output file path. If not specified, output to stdout
|
|
--watch, -w Watch the directory for changes and recompile
|
|
--renderer, -r Specify the output renderer. Options: json, html
|
|
--help, -h Show this help message
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Binding File
|
|
|
|
Each Muse project should specify a `binding.yaml` file with the following shape:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: My Playbill # Required
|
|
author: My Name # Required
|
|
version: 0.0.1 # Required
|
|
extend: ../another-playbill # Optional
|
|
files: # Optional
|
|
- "**/*.yaml"
|
|
styles: # Optional
|
|
- stylesheet.css
|
|
terms: # Optional
|
|
Some Term: Some Definition
|
|
Another Term: Another Definition
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The **Binding** file is used to specify the metadata for the Playbill, as well as the files to be compiled. It is also the entry point for a project.
|
|
|
|
When using the `muse` CLI, you must provide either a path to a `binding.yaml` file or a directory which contains a `binding.yaml` file.
|
|
|
|
## Common Types
