markdownp - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

markdown - Convert Markdown syntax to (X)HTML

DESCRIPTION

This program is distributed as part of Perl's Text::Markdown module, illustrating sample
usage.

Markdown can be invoked on any file containing Markdown-syntax, and will produce the
corresponding (X)HTML on STDOUT:

$ cat file.txt
This is a *test*.

Absolutely _nothing_ to see here. _Just a **test**_!

* test
* Yup, test.
$ markdown file.txt
<p>This is a <em>test</em>.</p>

<p>Absolutely <em>nothing</em> to see here. <em>Just a <strong>test</strong></em>!</p>

<ul>
<li>test</li>
<li>Yup, test.</li>
</ul>

If no file is specified, it will expect its input from STDIN:

$ echo "A **simple** test" | markdown
<p>A <strong>simple</strong> test</p>

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 '---' | markdown
<hr />
$ echo '---' | markdown --html4tags
<hr>
