<h1>Defining Custom Tasks</h1>

<nav class="navigation"><a href="/glyph/book/extending/commands_tasks.html">← Defining Custom Commands and Tasks</a> | <a href="/glyph/book/index.html">Contents</a> | <a href="/glyph/book/extending/output_format.html">Custom Output Formats →</a></nav>
<p>Glyph relies on <a href="http://rake.rubyforge.org/">Rake</a> to perform most of its core operations. Typically, Rake tasks are used do define the high level logic that is used by Glyph commands to, for example, compile a project or load configuration files.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Rake provides an easy mechanism to create dependencies among tasks: for example, to make sure that Glyph’s configuration files are loaded before everything else happens.</p>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="custom_generate_task" class="toc">Creating a 'custom:generate' task</h1></header>
<p>A custom task has been defined for the Glyph project used to produce this document. This custom task is used to compile a few of the documents files into standalone files, deployed in Glyph’s root folder:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>book/text/introduction.glyph</code> → <code>README.textile</code></li>
<li><code>book/text/changelog.glyph</code> → <code>CHANGELOG.textile</code></li>
<li><code>book/text/license.glyph</code> → <code>LICENSE.textile</code></li>
<li><code>book/text/acknowledgement.glyph</code> → <code>AUTHORS.textile</code></li>
</ul>
<p>First of all, create a <code>lib/tasks</code> folder in your project directory. Then, create a <code>.rake</code> file within it, e.g. <code>tasks.rake</code>.</p>
<p>Finally, here’s the source of the task:</p>
<div class="CodeRay">

<p>That’s it. Note that this task is pretty useless without a command that calls it, and it won’t even show up if you run <code>rake -T</code> within your project directory. <span class="fmi">for more information on <mark>creating custom commands</mark>, see <a href="/glyph/book/extending/command.html#custom_command">Defining Custom Commands</a></span>.</p>
