Preprocess File Content

“makes” preprocess all text file content, binary files are skipped. The implementation is borrowed from preprocess, reduced and customised.

The preprocess in “makes” only supports three directives:

  1. @echo
  2. @if
  3. @eval (not in original preprocess)

We retained the two types of syntax from original preprocess:

  1. HTML syntax, for any file with extension .html, .htm, .xml, or .svg.
  2. JavaScript syntax, for any other text file.

There are plenty of examples in dumberjs/new and makesjs/demo2.
