NAME
multimarkdown - Convert MultiMarkdown syntax to (X)HTML
DESCRIPTION
This program is distributed as part of Perl's Text::MultiMarkdown
module, illustrating sample usage.
- MultiMarkdown can be invoked on any file containing MultiMarkdownsyntax, and will produce the corresponding (X)HTML on STDOUT:
- $ cat file.txt
[MultiMarkdown][] *extends* the very well-known [Markdown][] syntax. - [MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown
[Markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ - $ multimarkdown file.txt
<p><a href="http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown">MultiMarkdown</a> <em>extends</em> the very well-known <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> syntax.</p> - If no file is specified, it will expect its input from STDIN:
$ echo "A **simple** test" | multimarkdown
<p>A <strong>simple</strong> test</p>
OPTIONS
- version
- Shows the full information for this version
- shortversion
- Shows only the version number
- html4tags
- Produce HTML 4-style tags instead of XHTML - XHTML requires
elements that do not wrap a block (i.e. the "hr" tag) to state they will not be closed, by closing with "/>". HTML 4-style will plainly output the tag as it comes:
$ echo '---' | multimarkdown
<hr />
$ echo '---' | multimarkdown --html4tags
<hr> - help
