### Usage examples

#### Render OpenAPI v3 file as HTML

This will render the `api.yml` file in the current directory as `myapi.html` file in the current directory.

```bash
$ api2html -o myapi.html myapi.yml
```

#### Use custom logo

This will render the `api.yml` file in the current directory as `myapi.html` file in the same directory, and use the custom logo `mylogo.png`.

```bash
$ api2html -o myapi.html -c mylogo.png myapi.yml
```

#### Define which language examples should be generated

This will render the `api.yml` file in the current directory as `myapi.html` file in the same directory, and use `go` and `javascript` examples.

```bash
$ api2html -o myapi.html -l go,javascript myapi.yml
```

#### Use different syntax highlighter

This will render the `api.yml` file in the current directory as `myapi.html` file in the same directory, and use `go` and `javascript` examples, as well as a different syntax higlighter from [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/).

```bash
$ api2html -o myapi.html -l go,javascript -t arta myapi.yml
```

#### Resolve external dependencies

If you add refs to external files in your source file, you can enable them by using `-r <source>`. The following command will resolve all your relative imports from the current directory.

```bash
$ api2html -o myapi.html -r ./ myapi.yml
```
