[Feature Request] exclusion of file from processing

[krrishd]

Hi guys,

I just was wondering if a certain feature would be feasible: the ability to exclude a certain file (LESS, Markdown, etc) from being compiled. For example, I want to create a README.md, but it gets compiled to HTML or gets deleted by a new compilation.

I’m not sure how this could work for other preprocessors, but for Markdown, you should be able to rename the file README.markdown or README.txt or one of the other extensions and it won’t be compiled. Harp only looks for .md files.

@krrishd The idea is to have convention over configuration. There are a few ways to solve this.
As @kennethormandy mentioned using a un-preprocessed file will achieve that or you can hide the file from the preprocessor by prefixing it with underscore _README.md.

We also have two types of app styles, root and framework. If you opt for a framework style app you can have all compiled asstes in a public folder and the README.md in the root folder and it will not get processed.

Lastly, Harp will not compile assts in their final form. So naming a file css or html is also ignored.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys, I just wasn't sure if .markdown would be compiled.
