baoyu-markdown-to-html
- Use it when:
- You have a Markdown article and need it as styled HTML for a WeChat Official Account post.
- It does:
- Runs a bundled converter with one of four themes, handling code highlighting, math, footnotes, alerts, PlantUML, and Mermaid diagrams rendered as images.
- You get:
- An .html file next to the Markdown, backing up any older one, and a JSON summary of its title, author, summary and images.
- Unlike baoyu-post-to-wechat:
- That one, from the same repo, publishes; this one only converts and doesn't publish anything.
- Needs:
- Bun or npx; Chrome only for Mermaid diagrams, which otherwise stay as code.
TL;DR
The four themes are default (centered title, white-on-color section headings), grace (text shadows, rounded cards), simple (minimal, asymmetric rounded corners) and modern (large radius, pill-shaped titles), with 13 color presets or any hex color, and a choice of font and size. The theme comes from your request, then this skill's preferences, then baoyu-post-to-wechat's default theme; if none is set, it asks. If the article contains Chinese, Japanese or Korean text and baoyu-format-markdown is installed, it first offers to run that skill to fix bold markers and spacing. Only when you ask, ordinary external links become numbered citations gathered in a final 引用链接 (reference links) section, while WeChat article links stay inline. The first heading is dropped unless you ask to keep it. Mermaid images are cached in imgs/.mermaid-cache/.

User Input Tools
When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):
- Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g.,
AskUserQuestion,request_user_input,clarify,ask_user, or any equivalent. - Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
- Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.
Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.
Script Directory

Workflow
Step 0: Pre-check (CJK Content)
Only if the input contains CJK characters AND the baoyu-format-markdown skill is available: ask (AskUserQuestion) whether to format first — it fixes ** bold markers broken by inner punctuation and CJK/English spacing. Agree → run baoyu-format-markdown, use the formatted file. Decline → use the original. No CJK → skip to Step 1.
Step 1: Determine Theme
First match wins:
- User-specified (CLI
--themeor conversation) - This skill's EXTEND.md
default_theme - Cross-skill fallback (only if step 2 has none):
default_theme:line in$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-post-to-wechat/EXTEND.md, if it exists - None → ask (
AskUserQuestion) with the Themes table
Theme from EXTEND.md → use it directly, do NOT ask.
Step 1.5: Determine Citation Mode
Default off; don't ask. Enable (--cite) only if the user explicitly asks for "微信外链转底部引用", "底部引用", "文末引用", or passes --cite. When enabled:
- Ordinary external links are rendered with numbered superscripts and collected under a final
引用链接section. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/...links stay as direct links and are not moved to the bottom.- Bare links where link text equals URL stay inline.
Step 2: Convert
${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <markdown_file> --theme <theme> [--cite]
Step 3: Report Result
Show htmlPath from the JSON result; mention backupPath if a backup was created.

Output
/path/to/article.md → /path/to/article.html (same directory). An existing HTML file is first backed up to /path/to/article.html.bak-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
JSON to stdout:
{
"title": "Article Title",
"author": "Author Name",
"summary": "Article summary...",
"htmlPath": "/path/to/article.html",
"backupPath": "/path/to/article.html.bak-20260128180000",

}
Mermaid: ```mermaid blocks are rendered to PNG via headless Chrome (CDP), cached at imgs/.mermaid-cache/mermaid-<hash>.png (key: code, theme, scale, target width, background, mermaid version; suggest adding the dir to .gitignore). Needs Chrome/Chromium/Edge; if unavailable or rendering fails, falls back to <pre class="mermaid">…</pre> and conversion still succeeds.
