## Instructions
This C++ command line tool reads several source files containing UFO related events, which were compiled from a variety of sources, and converts each of them to JSON. It then sorts all of these events into a single large timeline and outputs them as Markdown. [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) can then be used to convert this Markdown text to HTML.
This C++ command line tool reads several source files containing UFO related events, which were compiled from a variety of sources, and converts each of them to JSON. It then sorts all of these events into a single large timeline and outputs them as the Markdown file "timeline.md" and the JSON file "majestic.json". [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) can then be used to convert this Markdown text file to HTML.
Currently, the tool is Windows only, but it would be trivial to port to Linux/OSX. (I'll do this soon.) To run it: compile the .SLN using Visual Studio 2022. There are no external 3rd party dependencies. Run it in the BIN directory. It'll convert all the source files to JSON then output a file named timeline.md.
Here's the output [Markdown file converted to PDF](ufo_timeline_v1_04.pdf).
