Fingerprinting mixed with "for" iteration

[jpluscplusm]

Hi all!

I've got an arbitrarily nested set of Markdown files, each of which needs to be individually processed into an HTML file (using Pandoc; but I doubt that's important!)

I've been reading the docs and kicking the tyres for a while, but I can't figure out how to configure a Taskfile to:

• run pandoc INPUT -o $(basename INPUT .md).html
• once for each element of the glob ./**/*.md
• ... but only if that individual entry has been updated in terms of the configured fingerprint

Is this possible? Idiomatically, so that fingerprinting is delegated to Task? Elegantly? 😄

TVM for any assistance!

Perhaps create a task to process a file, with a variable for the file, and use that variable as a source too. Select a fingerprint method on this task

Then create another task with the for loop, and for each item, call the first task. In theory, that first task would only run if the file fingerprint had changed.
