## Mix task to Transform EEx templates in the context of the `Extractly` module.
This tool serves two purposes.
1. A simple CLI to basicly `EEx.eval_file/2`
1. Access to the `Extractly` module (available as binding `xtra` too)
The `Extractly` module gives easy access to Elixir metainformation of the application using
the `extractly` package, notably, _module_ and _function_ documentation.
This is BTW the raison d'être of this package, simple creation of a `README.md` file with very simple
access to the projects hex documentation.
Thusly hexdoc and Github will always be synchronized.
To see that in action just look at the [`README.md.eex`](README.md.eex) file of this package and compare
with what you are reading here.
Example Template:
Some text
<%= xtra.functiondoc("M.shiny_function/2") %>
<%= xtra.moduledoc("String") %>
