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>
