NAME
     markdown -- text to html conversion tool

SYNOPSIS
     markdown [-d] [-T] [-V] [-b url-base] [-C prefix] [-F bitmap] [-f flags]
	      [-n] [-o file] [-S] [-s text] [-t text] [-toc] [textfile]

DESCRIPTION
     The  markdown utility reads the markdown(7)-formatted textfile (or stdin if
     not specified,) compiles it, and writes the html output to stdout.

     The options are as follows:

     -b url-base
	      Links in source beginning with / will be prefixed with url-base in
	      the output.

     -C       When processing markdown extra-style footnotes, use the given pre-
	      fix instead of the default of fn.

     -d       Instead of writing the html file, dump a parse tree to stdout.

     -f flags
	      Set or clear various translation	flags.	  The  flags  are  in  a
	      comma-delimited list, with an optional + (enable), - (disable), or
	      no (disable) lprefix on each flag.

	      links	      Allow links.

	      image	      Allow images.

	      smarty	      Enable smartypants.

	      pants	      Enable smartypants.

	      html	      Allow raw html.

	      strict	      Disable  superscript,  strikethrough & relaxed em-
			      phasis.

	      ext	      Enable pseudo-protocols.

	      cdata	      Generate code for xml ![CDATA[...]].

	      superscript     Enable superscript processing.

	      emphasis	      Emphasis happens everywhere.

	      tables	      Don't process PHP Markdown Extra tables.

	      del	      Enable ~~strikethrough~~.

	      strikethrough   Enable ~~strikethrough~~.

	      toc	      Enable table-of-contents processing.

	      1.0	      Compatibility with MarkdownTest_1.0

	      autolink	      Make http://foo.com a link even without <>.

	      safelink	      Paranoid check for link protocol.

	      header	      Process pandoc-style header blocks.

	      tabstop	      Expand tabs to 4 spaces.

	      divquote	      Allow >%class% blocks.

	      alphalist       Allow alphabetic lists.

	      definitionlist  Allow  definition  lists	at  all  (default).  Use
			      dldiscount  and  dlextra to control which syntaxes
			      are respected.

	      dldiscount      Enable discount-style definition lists (default).

	      dlextra	      Enable extra-style definition lists (not default).
			      Both styles may be enabled simultaneously.

	      footnote	      Allow markdown extra-style footnotes.

	      style	      Extract <style> blocks from the output.

	      fencedcode      Allow fenced code blocks (not default).

	      idanchor	      Use id= anchors for  table-of-contents  links  in-
			      stead of <a name=/> (not default).

	      githubtags      Allow  underscore  and dash in passed through ele-
			      ment names (not default).

	      urlencodedanchor
			      Use url-encoded chars  for  multibyte  and  nonal-
			      phanumeric chars rather than dots in toc links.

	      As  an example, the option -f nolinks,smarty tells markdown to not
	      allow <a tags, and to do smarty pants processing.

     -F bitmap
	      Set translation flags.  Bitmap is a bit map of the various config-
	      uration options described in markdown(3) (the flag values are  de-
	      fined in mkdio.h)

     -n       Don't write generated html.

     -o file  Write the generated html to file.

     -S       output <style> blocks.

     -V       Show the version# and compile-time configuration data.

	      If  the version includes the string DEBUG, markdown was configured
	      with memory allocation debugging.

	      If the version includes the string TAB, markdown was configured to
	      use the specified tabstop.

     -VV      Show the version#, the compile-time configuration,  and  the  run-
	      time configuration.

     -t text  Use  mkd_text(3)	to  format text instead of processing stdin with
	      the markdown(3) function.

     -T       If run with the table-of-content flag on, dump the table	of  con-
	      tents before the formatted text.

     -s text  Use the markdown(3) function to format text.

     -toc     Set the table-of-content flag, then dump the table of contents be-
	      fore the formatted text (a shorthand for --T --toc )

RETURN VALUES
     The markdown utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
