- Update the markdown files with the content of htmloutput.txt.
+
+
+### Update the markdown files automatically
+
+The python script mdUpdate.py allows to update the contents of the md files automatically.
+
+mdUpdate.py takes four arguments:
+
+Usage:
+mdUpdate.py cc fn2u fnold fnnew
+
+cc: 1: AO2D, 2: Helpers, 3: Joins
+
+fn2u: file with new text
+
+fnold: file with old text
+
+fnnew: file with replaced text
+
+mdUpdate.py replaces in file fnold the block of text which is delimited by two lines containing a delimiter string by the block of text in file fn2u which is delimited by two lines containing the same delimiter string and write the output to file fnnew. The delimiter string is obtained from the inputCard.xml, depending on the value of cc. If fnnew = fnold, the content of fnold is overwritten.
+
+So to update the md files do:
+
+- ./extractDataModel.py > htmloutput.txt
+- path2mds=./testing
+- ./mdUpdate.py 1 htmloutput.txt $path2mds/ao2dTables.md $path2mds/ao2dTables.md
+- ./mdUpdate.py 2 htmloutput.txt $path2mds/helperTaskTables.md $path2mds/helperTaskTables.md
