sublime text 2 build system for multimarkdown under windows 7

Question

To process a .md file in multimarkdown, I've written a build system file:

{
"shell":true,
"working_dir" : "${file_path}",
"cmd": ["C:\\Program Files\\MultiMarkdown\\multimarkdown.exe", "-b", "$file"],
"cmd": "${file/\\.md/\\.html/}"
}

While the .html file opens in my browser correctly (if it exists), MultiMarkdown isn't called - since the .html file isn't generated by CTRL+B/F7.

However, in cmd this works:

multimarkdown -b test.md 

I guess my PATH variable is fine, but Sublime can't access multimarkdown.

I've tried this as well:

"cmd": ["multimarkdown", "-b", "$file"],

and

"cmd": ["multimarkdown -b", "$file"],

You have a duplicate cmd key. Since Sublime Text uses JSON for its build systems, it probably overwrites the first key with the second one.

Thus, remove the second key and your first one will execute:

{
"shell":true,
"working_dir" : "${file_path}",
"cmd": ["C:\\Program Files\\MultiMarkdown\\multimarkdown.exe", "-b", "$file"],
}
