Hi all,

I am using Geany 1.37 with Windows 11. I wish to build an html file from a markdown source file. In the Build > Set Build Commands dialog, I typed in the following command:

python -m markdown %f > %e.html

I'd guess that the command isn't run under a shell but rather directly.

Correct, its run with `CreateProcess()` because the various shell executes don't allow the re-direction of stdin and stdout AFAICT.

In that case I'd...

1. Look for an output argument, such as -o

     python -m markdown -o %e.html %f
   
   
   

2. If that doesn't exist, try wrapping in a shell:

    cmd.exe /c "my command"
   
   

   May have to use /k or other trickery. Check with cmd /h.

Also may need extra quoting of the command, buyer beware.
