Answer 1

While working on your site, you can run the command docpad watch.

»To render standalone files with DocPad programatically (will output to stdout)«

docpad render filePath

»E.g. To render a markdown file and save the result to an output file, we would use:«

docpad render inputMarkdownFile.html.md > outputMarkdownFile.html

»To just watch your website for changes and re-generate whenever a change is made, use:« docpad watch
