NAME

     markdown -- process Markdown documents

LIBRARY

     Markdown (libmarkdown, -lmarkdown)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <mkdio.h>

     MMIOT
     *mkd_in(FILE *input, int flags);

     MMIOT
     *mkd_string(char *string, int size, int flags);

     int
     markdown(MMIOT *doc, FILE *output, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions convert Markdown documents and strings into HTML.	markdown() processes an entire document, while mkd_text() processes a sin-
     gle string.

     To process a file, you pass a FILE* to mkd_in(), and if it returns a nonzero value you pass that in to markdown(), which then writes the con-
     verted document to the specified FILE*.  If your input has already been written into a string (generated input or a file opened with mmap(2))
     you can feed that string to mkd_string() and pass its return value to markdown.()

     Markdown() accepts the following flag values (or-ed together if needed) to restrict how it processes input:
     MKD_NOLINKS	  Don't do link processing, block <a> tags.
     MKD_NOIMAGE	  Don't do image processing, block <img>.
     MKD_NOPANTS	  Don't run smartypants().
     MKD_NOHTML 	  Don't allow raw html through AT ALL
     MKD_STRICT 	  Disable superscript and relaxed emphasis.
     MKD_TAGTEXT	  Process text inside an html tag; no <em>, no <bold>, no html or [] expansion.
     MKD_NO_EXT 	  Don't allow pseudo-protocols.
     MKD_CDATA		  Generate code for xml ![CDATA[...]].
     MKD_NOSUPERSCRIPT	  Don't generate superscripts.	Emphasis happens _everywhere_
     MKD_NOTABLES	  Disallow tables.
     MKD_NOSTRIKETHROUGH  Forbid ~~strikethrough~~.
     MKD_TOC		  Do table-of-contents processing.
     MKD_1_COMPAT	  Compatibility with MarkdownTest_1.0
     MKD_AUTOLINK	  Make http://foo.com into a link even without <> s.
     MKD_SAFELINK	  Paranoid check for link protocol.
     MKD_NOHEADER	  Don't process header blocks.
     MKD_TABSTOP	  Expand tabs to 4 spaces.
     MKD_NODIVQUOTE	  Forbid >%class% blocks.
     MKD_NOALPHALIST	  Forbid alphabetic lists.
     MKD_NODLIST	  Forbid definition lists.
     MKD_EXTRA_FOOTNOTE   Enable markdown extra-style footnotes.

RETURN VALUES

BUGS

     Error handling is minimal at best.

     The MMIOT created by mkd_string() is deleted by the markdown function.
